Sporting vs Arsenal: Prediction, kick-off time, team news, TV, live stream, h2h results, odds today

Arsenal are back in Europa League action this evening as they travel to face Sporting Lisbon in Portugal.

While it’s unclear as to how seriously Mikel Arteta will actually take this competition as the Gunners look to close in on a remarkable Premier League title triumph, momentum feels key across the board.

With Manchester City and all of their experience chasing, it’s important to keep riding the crest of a wave as much as possible.

While it’s unlikely to be a full-strength Arsenal side, it’s simply too hard to see them losing a game right now, particularly when playing with the kind of belief that saw them beat Bournemouth late on.
