LIVE: Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid
Arsenal continue their Champions League campaign with a home game against Atletico Madrid tonight. Last season's semi-finalists have won both of their fixtures in the league phase so far, without conceding and are aiming to make it six straight wins across all competitions.
Mikel Arteta says he is relishing the prospect of facing Diego Simeone - who will be back on the touchline after serving a one-game ban - and is boosted by the availability of Piero Hincapie after injury. However, Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz, Noni Madueke and Gabriel Jesus remain absent. Atletico, meanwhile, are back in England just a month on from their last-gasp defeat to Liverpool on matchday one.
Simeone’s side did recover to thump Eintracht Frankfurt three weeks ago and while they have beaten bitter rivals Real Madrid recently, they are yet to record a victory away from home this season heading into only a second ever competitive meeting with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

Piero Hincapie has overcome a troublesome groin injury to make a return to training, though the defender is unlikely to play any significant part due to the form of Arsenal's current back four.
Leandro Trossard scored the winner against Fulham at the weekend, and will hope to keep his place amid competition from Gabriel Martinelli who has scored in both Champions League games this season.
