Arsenal take on the threat of Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday, with the Gunners hoping to defend their perfect start to the European campaign

Arsenal host Atletico Madrid having secured victories in their first two Champions League matches this season. Tuesday's match is expected to be the Gunners' most challenging test in their European season so far as they aim to maintain their position near the top of the table.

The current Premier League pace-setters have already overcome challenges from Athletic Club and Olympiacos this season. However, a visit from Diego Simeone's squad promises to elevate the level of competition when they arrive in London on Tuesday.

Los Rojiblancos sit fourth in La Liga and have gone unbeaten in six matches across all competitions. Despite this, the Madrid titans are still in pursuit of their first away win of the 2025/26 season as they make their way to England's capital this week.

It's been more than seven years since these teams last met in the semi-finals of the 2017/18 Europa League. Atleti emerged victorious on that occasion before going on to claim the continental trophy, hoping a win over the Gunners will bring similar fortune this time around.

When does Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid kick off?

Tuesday's showdown is slated to get underway at 8pm local time (9pm Madrid time). However, pre-match coverage will start an hour prior to the whistle.

Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid team news

Mikel Arteta might field the same XI that clinched a 1-0 victory at Fulham on Saturday thanks to Leandro Trossard's decisive goal. Arteta continues to grapple with the absences of skipper Martin Odegaard, along with forwards Noni Madueke, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus.

Viktor Gyokeres hasn't found the back of the net in seven matches for the Gunners and is still chasing his first European goal since joining this summer. Meanwhile, ex-Real Sociedad ace Mikel Merino could be drafted into midfield to provide some additional strength against Los Rojiblancos.

On the other hand, Simeone may need to substitute Nicolas Gonzalez at left wing-back after he was injured during Saturday's 1-0 triumph over Osasuna. The manager's son, Giuliano, is among the potential replacements, while Thiago Almada will also be eager to start after scoring the sole goal against Osasuna.

Midfielder Johnny Cardoso is the most notable absentee for Simeone and won't be taking part at the Emirates. Additionally, defensive prospect Ilias Kostis will also be unavailable for the travelling squad.
