Diego Simeone meets Mikel Arteta at the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal take on Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League. The Gunners can make it three wins from three in Europe, while the La Liga club have already been beaten in England this season, having lost to Liverpool at Anfield.
Arteta has the benefit of welcoming Piero Hincapie back into the group while Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus and Noni Madueke all remain injured. Whereas Simeone has one absentee in the form of Johnny Cardoso.
There has been much made of the two styles clashing in north London and even some pre-match drama with the hot water failing the Atleti players, which led to an apology coming from the Gunners. Fans could be treated to the battle of two tactical geniuses or simply two philosophies cancelling each other out.
