**The Champions League semi-finals are here, with Arsenal heading off to Madrid to face Atletico at the Wanda Metropolitano.**
**With Premier League and Champions League glory both at stake, the boys in red and white will need to bring their A-game across these remaining fixtures.**
**Mikel Arteta and his squad will be hoping to build on the weekend's win over Newcastle, which saw them reclaim top spot in the league.**
**Bukayo Saka returned in that 1-0 victory over the Magpies and produced an eye-catching cameo, while Kai Havertz, who was withdrawn with a muscular issue, is not likely to be available. Eberechi Eze, who also picked up a muscular issue against Newcastle and could not finish the game, is similarly set to be fit.**
**Similarly, Martin Zubimendi felt unwell at half-time against the Magpies but should be fine to return, though Mikel Merino and Jurrien Timber are likely to remain unavailable. On the brighter side, Ricardo Calafiori could be back, a welcome boost.**
**All things considered, Arteta should have a pretty decent squad to call upon on Wednesday night, and could opt to go with:**
**Raya**
**White, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie**
**Zubimendi, Rice, Odegaard**
**Saka, Gyokeres, Eze**
**This line-up should certainly have enough to take care of an Atlético side whom they put four past back in October's Champions League league phase clash.**
**That said, Saka and Eze should drown Viktor Gyokeres with chances, and hopefully, he brings his scoring boots. Arsenal needs goals badly. This is a game where they must really step up and put an end to the worrying run of just one goal in their last seven competitive outings.**
**That said, having kept an impressive eight clean sheets in this season's Champions League campaign, securing a ninth on Wednesday night would go a long way in helping the boys in red and white put one foot in the final.**
