JAKARTA - The third matchday of the 2023/2024 Champions League in Group B will bring together Sevilla and Arsenal at the Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium. On a trip to the headquarters of the Spanish representatives, Arsenal had a mission to return to winning ways.

Ahead of the match on Wednesday, October 25 at 02.00 WIB, Arsenal are indeed superior in the standings. The Gunners are now in second place in Group B with a collection of 3 points, while Sevilla is in third place with two points.

Even so, Arsenal continued their efforts to win because in the previous match Mikel Arteta's troops lost 1-2 at home to Lens on the second matchday at the Emirates Stadium.

The match against Sevilla is also Arsenal's effort to win the Champions League away game for the first time since December 2016.

On the host side, Sevilla's condition was not too good but still had to be watched out for. The reason is that in the second match of Group B, Los Nervionenses could only get one point when they drew 2-2 against PSV Eindhoven.

This situation could be a benchmark for Arsenal, because the hosts could also use the previous results as ammunition to rise and heat up competition in Group B.

As an effort to suppress Arsenal's resistance, Sevilla is predicted to field the best squad that is almost fully fit. The only host players missing for tomorrow's match are goalkeeper Alfonso Pastor and striker Mariano Diaz who are injured.

In the Arsenal camp, they were able to return to using Aaron Ramsdale's performance under the crossbar. The goalkeeper was previously absent from attending the birth of his baby.

The only Gunners who missed this match were Jurrien Timber who had to be sidelined due to an ACL injury. However, Arsenal still have Thomas Partey and Kai Havertz who can compete to replace Jorginho in midfield.

Sevilla (4-3-3): Nyland; Navas, Gudelj, Ramos, Acuna; Tabur, Soumare, Rakitic; Lukebabio, En-Nesyri, Ocampos
