The Champions League quarter-finals begin tonight as Arsenal travel to Lisbon for a daunting Sporting test.
The Gunners need to get their season back on track after losing the Carabao Cup final and then being knocked out of the FA Cup by Southampton in back-to-back games.
A hugely impressive 5-0 win over Bodo/Glimt in the last round , having lost the first leg 3-0, will have confirmed an Arsenal side who are without both Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze, along with Jurrien Timber, tonight.
Mikel Arteta will know even a narrow loss would be a positive result before next week’s return leg at the Emirates, and here’s how you can watch along.
Though every other Champions League, Europa League and Conference League fixture is being shown live on TNT Sports this week, that is not the case for Sporting vs Arsenal.

Amazon Prime Video will continue to show a first-pick game live on Tuesday nights as part of the next Champions League broadcasting deal in the UK, which kicks in from 2027 with Paramount+ having recently won the rights in a bumper deal said to be worth in excess of £1billion.
The BBC will also continue to show free-to-air highlights of the competition on Wednesday nights.
Meanwhile, as of 2027/28, exclusive broadcasting rights for the Europa League and Conference League in the UK will go to Sky Sports.
