Turning their attention back to Champions League duties on Tuesday night, Arsenal will welcome Atletico Madrid to north London.
Arsenal
Starting with the hosts, marking their return from October’s international break with a gritty 1-0 victory away at local rivals Fulham over the weekend, Arsenal are enjoying what has become a sensational run. Skyrocketing their way to the top of the Premier League table, Mikel Arteta’s men should find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Getting their Champions League adventure underway with consecutive 2-0 wins against Olympiacos and Athletic Bilbao, the Gunners have their sights set on mounting a genuine European charge this season. Signing off September with an eye-catching 2-1 victory against Newcastle, Arsenal have won all of their previous five appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 9-1. Gaining a reputation for their defensive steel, Arteta’s camp have also conceded just a single strike from open play so far this year.
Arsenal Team News
All still dealing with respective knee injuries, Arsenal will once again be without the quartet of Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, Noni Madueke and skipper Martin Odegaard on Tuesday night. Despite making just a single Premier League appearance so far this season, Ben White could be handed a full recall.
Although big-money summer recruit Viktor Gyokeres might have failed to find the net in any of his last nine appearances for club and country, the former Sporting Lisbon ace should keep his spot leading the line. Bagging the winner away at Fulham on Saturday, Belgium international Leandro Trossard should keep his spot from the start.
Atletico Madrid
As for the visitors, while Atletico Madrid might have opened up the 2025/26 campaign in the midst of a public rut, Diego SImeone’s camp have come roaring back in an impressive fashion. Marking their return from October’s fortnight interval with a 1-0 victory at home against Osasuna over the weekend, Tuesday’s guests have registered 13 points from their previous five appearances across all competitions. Putting a maiden Champions League victory on the board last month as they stormed their way to a stellar 5-1 romp at home against Eintracht Frankfurt, Atletico should be relishing a trip to north London here. However, despite claiming an iconic 5-2 victory against arch-rivals Real Madrid on September 27th, Simeone’s side have shown some extended issues on the road. In fact, the Spanish heavyweights have failed to win any of their first five matchups on their travels (two defeats, three draws).

Suffering a first-half blow to the head against Osasuna over the weekend, Atletico will be unable to call upon Argentinian international Nicolas Gonzalez on Tuesday night. Not featuring since the end of August, Simeone’s camp will also be without the services of summer recruit Johnny Castro here.
Opening his Champions League account against Eintracht Frankfurt last month, former Manchester City ace Julian Alvarez will spearhead Atletico’s charge. Marking his return from a muscle injury over the weekend and bagging the winner against Osasuna on Saturday, Thiago Almada will get some more minutes under his belt.
Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid Key Factors to Consider

Conclusion
Leading the chase at the top of the Premier League table and winning their last five appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 9-1, Arsenal will be looking to make another statement here. Getting their European charge underway with consecutive 2-0 victories against Olympiacos and Athletic Bilbao, the Gunners will be confident of claiming a heavyweight scalp on Tuesday night. Meeting an Atletico Madrid squad who have failed to win any of their five five showdowns on the road, we are backing a home victory in midweek.
