Arsenal, the Premier League leader, will look to take another step towards progression in the Champions League today, with Liverpool likely hoping that Mikel Arteta's team stumbles after a strong start to the new season. Facing Atletico Madrid at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal should be tested against another defensively resolute team that has plenty of attacking quality too.
For Atletico, Julian Alvarez is the focal point in attack and has been exceptional so far this season. Learn more Diego Simeone has new signings Giacomo Raspadori, Nico Gonzalez and Thiago Almada to call upon in attack too, with the latter coming off the bench to score the winner against Osasuna over the weekend.
"First of all, the willingness to win," Arteta said in his pre-match press conference when he was asked about what makes Atletico Madrid so hard to come up against. "They have acquired a lot of talent throughout the years that are very specific for the needs and the way they want to play and they are very, very good at exploiting those opportunities." Earlier this season, Virgil van Dijk scored a late winner for Liverpool against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
