    Re: Samuel 10.16. Opta hasn’t favoured Arsenal over Real Madrid - slightly the opposite in fact. If they both get to the QF, the computer gives RM a greater chance of going through. Real’s overall probability is lower as they have a tougher last-16 tie in the all-Madrid derby.

    Former Rangers manager Philippe Clement says the club will "always hold a special place" in his heart.

    In February, Rangers sacked the 50-year-old following a home defeat by St Mirren with the side 13 points behind Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic.

    In his first statement since the departure, Clement addressed Rangers fans in a statement: "I leave with a heavy heart, frustrated and disappointed that I couldn't consistently bring the team to the level we all expected. I understand your frustrations, and I share them.

    "We worked passionately, day and night, and while we faced challenges, I will never forget the many great moments we had together.

    "Your unwavering support and the energy from the fans made those times truly special. In those moments, it felt like we were one big family.

    "For that reason, Rangers will always hold a special place in my heart."

    Voted for Liverpool ahead of Real Madrid. Not sure that's right but as a Liverpool fan I can't vote against them. I realise this might skew the vote and I apologise.

    Apology accepted, Iain.

    BBC Sport commentator Chris Sutton told BBC 5 Live Breakfast that he thinks tonight’s game against PSV is Arsenal’s “best chance at a trophy”.

    He added that fans might "fancy Arsenal over their two legs".

    He said that he is looking forward to the game and that the "pressure is on Mikel Arteta", as if Arsenal get knocked out by PSV, he will face “scrutiny”.

    PSV manager Peter Bosz has a number of key players at his disposal for Arsenal to be wary of.

    Captain Luuk de Jong, who previously played for Newcastle United, has scored 15 goals in 35 appearances for PSV this term.

    Young Belgian international Johan Bakayoko has also scored 10 in all competitions this term from 35 games.

    A boost for Arsenal is the absence of American international Ricardo Pepi, who has scored 17 goals for PSV for this season at a rate of one every 61.9 minutes. Pepi is set to miss the rest of the season through injury.

    In January, PSV acquired left-back Tyrell Malacia on loan from Manchester United. They have also signed former Arsenal striker Lucas Perez in recent weeks, while former Tottenham winger Ivan Perisic also plays for the 1988 European champions.

    PSV Eindhoven face Arsenal for the 11th time this evening, all of which have come since the turn of the millenium.

    Since then, PSV have beaten Arsenal twice and the other two meetings in the Netherlands have been draws.

    In London, Arsenal have three wins against PSV, with the other two meetings ending level.

    • December 2023 - PSV 1-1 Arsenal (Champions League)
    • October 2022 - PSV 2-0 Arsenal (Europa League)
    • February 2007 - PSV 1-0 Arsenal (Champions League)
    • November 2004 - PSV 1-1 Arsenal (Champions League)

    Their only win in their last six matches came against Juventus in the last round of the Champions League.

    PSV v Arsenal (20.00 GMT)

    • This will be the second time Arsenal have faced PSV in the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League, after being eliminated by the Dutch side in the last 16 in 2006-07 (lost 0-1 away, drew 1-1 at home).
    • That 1-0 defeat is Arsenal's only loss in their last 14 games against Dutch sides in the Champions League - although eight of those have been draws.
    • Arsenal have won each of their last four games in the Champions League, scoring 13 goals in the process. The last time they had a five-game CL win streak in a single edition was in 2005-06 when they reached the final.
    • Arsenal have the lowest xG against per game average (0.73) in the Champions League this season, as well as allowing the fewest shots on target (2.4).
    • If Ethan Nwaneri starts, he will be just the third English player aged under 18 to do so in the Champions League knock-outs, after Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden.

    PSV v Arsenal (20.00 GMT)

    Arsenal

    Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta spoke to the media before Tuesday's Champions League last-16 first leg at PSV Eindhoven.

    Here are the key lines from his news conference:

    • On things Arsenal have learned in the Champions League this season: "In Europe this season, we have been much more like us. We have been much more consistent and scored a lot of goals. "
    • He also emphasised how strong the Gunners have been in defence: "We haven't conceded almost anything, three goals, and we have the lowest expected goals conceded in the group phase. Now we have to continue to do it."
    • He dismissed questions about whether Arsenal could win the competition, saying he was only focused on PSV: "The reality is that as a coach I just look at what is ahead. They eliminated Juventus, a team with a lot of history. I know the difficulty of the game - we have played them a lot in recent years."
  19. Arsenal can 'change narrative' of season - Timberpublished at 11:10 Greenwich Mean Time 4 March

    PSV v Arsenal (20.00 GMT)

    Arsenal

    Defender Jurrien Timber has urged Arsenal to "change the narrative" when they play PSV in the Champions League last-16 on Tuesday evening.

    The Dutchman spoke to the media on Monday afternoon and said: "I think tomorrow we can change the narrative. We have a lot of quality in our group. We have a lot of injuries, especially upfront. We know that but it is a beautiful challenge.

    "We have been through a lot, especially the last couple of weeks. It is a challenge for us and we just have to take it. "

    Having failed to score against West Ham and Nottingham Forest, Arsenal have slipped further behind Liverpool in the title race and Timber was asked how to bring positivity back to Emirates Stadium.

    "Change the narrative by winning games - it's as easy as that," he said. "We have to score tomorrow. In the Champions League you only have two games so you don't get second chances.

    "I feel like I'm part of something big with this team and we can win a lot. We can do everything we can to win prizes and tomorrow is another step towards that."

    As an Arsenal fan, the most important thing about tonight is the performance, rather than the result. The last couple of matches we’ve been too slow, lacked drive and desire. We’ve not created anything. The players need to step up and lay down a marker. Limping out of another cup should be the end of Arteta, it’ll show that he isn’t able to take us the next step.
