Arsenal - Newcastle (10:00 p.m., Sport1)
The Gunners returned to the last 16 of the Champions League for the first time in seven years, but lost 1-0 at Dragao in Porto following a goal in added time and will need to complete a turnaround in the second leg in less than three weeks to qualify for the quarter-finals for the first time since 2010 Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta's team returned to the league after winning all five of the last five rounds with an amazing goal difference of 2:21 and would like to continue the momentum and narrow the gap from Liverpool at the top to two points.
Arsenal will likely be without Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus again, but after the 1-0 defeat in Portugal on Wednesday, it is not certain that Arteta will continue with the same 11 as he has in the last three games.
Newcastle is on the trend of improvement after two difficult months and in its last two away games it beat Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest, precisely at home it stumbled against Bournemouth and Walton and thus dropped to eighth place in the table.
