Two for two in the 2025-26 Champions League, Arsenal aim to prolong their perfect European streak in Tuesday's heavyweight tussle with Atletico Madrid at the Emirates.
The Gunners have scored four goals and conceded none in opening wins over Athletic Bilbao and Olympiacos, leaving them fifth in the league-phase table behind Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan.
The defensive might of Mikel Arteta's men came to the fore once more at the weekend, asthe Spaniard's side edged out Fulham 1-0 to ensure that they would remain top of the Premier League table.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the visit of Atletico, who have three points to show from their first two UCL games of the season.
