* Arsenal’s 7-1 victory in the first leg against PSV was the biggest ever away win in the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League. The only English team to score 10 goals across two legs in the competition was Man City vs Schalke 04 in 2018-19’s last 16 (won 10-2 on aggregate).
* PSV are winless in their last six away major European games in England (D2 L4), with their last two visits defeats to Arsenal. They’ve won four of 20 away games (D4 L12), beating Leeds twice (5-3 in 1995, 1-0 in 2002), Newcastle (2-0 in 1997) and Spurs (1-0 in 2008).
* Arsenal have won their last five UEFA Champions League matches, scoring 20 goals and conceding three. They are looking to win six in a row for the first time since between March and November 2005 under Arsene Wenger.
* Arsenal have won each of their four UEFA Champions League games home games this season, without conceding a goal. The last English side to win five in a row at home without conceding in the competition was Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea in 2021-22 (5), who were then reigning champions.
* PSV haven’t kept a clean sheet away from home in the UEFA Champions League since March 2016 (0-0 v Atlético Madrid), conceding in each of their last 15 away games in the competition (33 conceded in total – 2.2 per game).
* Arsenal's biggest aggregate victory in major European competition is 10-0 vs Standard Liège in the 1993-94 Cup Winners' Cup, which is the last time any English team won by 10+ goals on aggregate in any major European competition. In the European Cup, the last English team to do so was Leeds United vs Lyn in 1969-70 (16-0).
* PSV’s 7-1 loss to Arsenal in the first leg was their joint biggest margin of defeat in a European match, equalling their 6-0 reverse to St Etienne in the UEFA Cup in November 1979. In the European Cup, the last side to lose the first leg by 6+ goals and win the second leg was Omonia Nicosia in 1979-80 vs Ajax (first leg 0-10, second leg 4-0), the second leg of which was played the same day as PSV suffered their 6-0 defeat to St Etienne.
* This game will be Mikel Arteta’s 20th in the UEFA Champions League as Arsenal manager (W12 D3 L4). In the competition’s history, only nine managers have won 13 of their first 20 games, with seven of those winning the trophy at some stage (Van Gaal, Lippi, Heynckes, del Bosque, Enrique, Zidane, Flick).
* Arsenal’s Ethan Nwaneri is the youngest player in UEFA Champions League history to score in consecutive appearances (17 years, 348 days). No player has ever scored three Champions League goals before their 18th birthday, while the current youngest player to score in three games in a row is Kylian Mbappé (18 years, 113 days).
* Only two Arsenal players have made more line-breaking passes in the UEFA Champions League this season than David Raya (48). Indeed, the Spaniard has broken the opposition’s defensive line with a pass on three occasions; the joint-most of any goalkeeper (also three for Manuel Neuer).
