Arsenal first match in this competition and they will fight against PSV and this is very interesting because both teams have been met last year on Europa league and both teams have defeated each other which mean PSV can be considers as tough opponent for Arsenal especially PSV performance were increase rapidly because since July PSV has fantastic achievement and since that month PSV has through 11 matches with unbeatable status in all competitions and before they advances to the group stage PSV has been done a good job because they can able to eliminate Rangers with total aggregate 7-2 so although Arsenal is the favourite in this match but PSV cannot be underestimate because they have a potention to make Arsenal get in trouble
PSV is not a favorite against Arsenal, especially if Arsenal plays at home. Arsenal have performed well at the start of this season even though they have also struggled to win their last 4 matches in the Premier League. This will be a good match for both of them considering their meeting record in the last 4 Champions League matches. Arsenal and PSV both have 1 win and 2 draws and 1 loss each, so this will be a tough match for both.
In the last 6 matches, Arsenal Win 2, Draw 2, Lose 2, while the results are the same for PSV Eindhoven; Win 2, Draw 2, Lose 2 and that's the record that makes this match look fierce. I'm sure Arsenal can win their home game, but it's not good to underestimate PSV.
Arsenal are playing with a home advantage and are the bookies favourite to win the match, though alot of people feel they might find it tough winning PSV due to the current injury crisis they're facing in their defense line, i think Arteta has to be very tactical in that match because he's not playing against against a small Premier league team he'll give chances.
PSV is one of the biggest team in the Eredivisie League and they've been consistent in qualifying for the Champions League over the years, also are doing very well in their league too, last season they finished second and are currently second in the league this season with 9 points, winning all their matches so far therefore they shouldn't be underestimated because they're capable of facing Arsenal and could suprisingly defeat them if Arteta doesn't strategies properly.
