That's why, because Porto is not an easy team to beat, Arteta will prepare his squad to play the match with very high performance. moreover, this match will be held at the Estadio do Dragao, the home of Porto. if they are able to steal full points at the Estadio do Dragao, Porto's headquarters, the Gunners players will be happy to do their job very well. so, I'm quite sure that Arteta is not aiming for a draw in the first leg. theoretically, Arsenal will continue to use an offensive playing pattern. thus, it is certain that this match will be quite fierce. the problem is, the Gunners' young squad will be tested in this match. will Arsenal be able to overcome the obstacles when they visit Porto's headquarters, or will Arsenal experience the same thing as when competing at Lens' headquarters.

On the other hand, as the home team, Porto will not let Arsenal steal full points at home, that's why Sergio Conceicao will prepare his team's squad to fight with good performance when they face Arsenal in the last 16 of the Champions League. the opportunity to play in front of their own supporters in the first leg, Conceicao's squad will do their job by doing their job very well. but if we refer to what the betting bookies are providing for the time being, Arsenal is superior to the home team. however, these odds are only temporary. ahead of the match, it's likely that will change. unless Arsenal experiences problems or is otherwise in a positive trend.

Talking about Arsenal in the Domestic League competition, I think we still have lots of opportunities to remain competitive. after all, there are still a lot of games remaining until the end of the season. well, let's just wait before the Porto vs Arsenal match.

This match will be a fierce one and will be a strong test for Arteta and his boys on their readiness for the UCL. Porto are a pretty good team and are very composed when playing on home soil and they’ll be coming to that match to watch Arsenal play their football while they probably sit and hit on the counter. Arsenal should better improve on their offensive play and try to know when to fall back.

They should take cues from the match against West Ham because it could be similar to what Porto will be preparing for them. For the first leg I think double chancing on Arsenal is better and for the second leg giving Arsenal a straight win is preferable. Domestically, I think Arsenal will bounce back from the defeat from the Hammers and put up a fight for the league, I believe Arteta have learnt one or two lessons and how to make up for his errors.

That squad that played against West Ham can not do same against Porto who are also better European giants in the Champions League ahead of gunners.
Gunner's should make sure they improve that squad during the transfer window, they fail to do that they'll fail to win the game after the round of sixteen because I know they're going to the next round.

Declan Rice was cooked in that midfied during that game. Westham should have scored mkre only that Paqueta got Injured too soon. Benrahma already lost form amd no longer that man we know from the previous season. He's already been linked Marseille of the French league one.
