Atletico Madrid and Arsenal will go head-to-head in the Champions League on Wednesday evening, with both sides looking to take advantage in the first leg.
There is a chance Arsenal ends the season without any trophies, despite being involved in four different competitions at the turn of the year.
Mikel Arteta's side are going toe-to-toe with Manchester City in the Premier League, but the Champions League may end up being their only hope of silverware.
It's a battle of two sides known for their defensive solidity, and this is how GIVEMESPORT expects the teams to line up, including team news from both outfits.
Atletico Team News
diego simeone atletico madrid
Atletico Madrid could be without just Pablo Barrios and Jose Gimenez for this one, but Diego Simeone does have some doubts to worry about heading into the game against Arsenal.
Ademola Lookman and David Hancko will be looking to shake off knocks ahead of the game, and it'll be a huge boost for the Spanish side if they can have them available in Madrid.
Julian Alvarez has confirmed that he's ready to face the Gunners, so it will be interesting to see whether he will be fit enough to start after being an unused substitute last time out.
Atletico Madrid Predicted XI
Julian Alvarez
Atletico Madrid predicted XI: Musso; Llorente, Pubill, Lenglet, Ruggeri; Simeone, Koke, Cardoso, Gonzalez; Griezmann, Alvarez.
Atletico Madrid subs: Oblak (GK), Molina (DEF), Bonar (DEF), Diaz (DEF), Le Normand (DEF), Mendoza (MID), Vargas (MID), Baena (FWD), Sorloth (FWD).
It's difficult to envisage Alvarez not coming into the starting XI after being rested last time out, especially considering the quality he has.
Arsenal Team News
Kai Havertz
Arsenal have a host of injury problems heading into their game against Atletico this week.
Kai Havertz, Mikel Merino, and Jurrien Timber will all be missing, but Bukayo Saka and Riccardo Calafiori are available to play.
Whether Saka and Calafiori are fit enough to start, remains to be seen, but it's a huge boost that the duo can be involved.
Timber has now missed the last eight games, while Havertz suffered an injury against Newcastle last time out.

Bukayo Saka
Arsenal Predicted XI: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie; Odegaard, Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Gyokeres, Martinelli
Arsenal subs: Kepa (GK), Setford (GK), Mosquera (DEF), Calafiori (DEF), Lewis-Skelly (DEF), Eze (MID), Dowman (MID), Norgaard (MID), Trossard (FWD), Jesus (FWD).
Saka is likely to come into the starting XI for Arsenal with it being such a crucial game.
The England international came off the bench against Newcastle, and it's time for Arteta to unleash the winger.
After picking up a knock, Eberechi Eze could drop to the bench, even though Arteta provided a positive update.
