Arsenal prepare for a tough away fixture in the UEFA Champions League 2025-26 Quarter-final first leg as they take on Sporting Lisbon on Tuesday, April 7. The Gunners come into this fixture on the back of a disappointing 1-2 loss at the hands of Southampton in the FA Cup. AFC boss Mikel Arteta acknowledged his team is going through its first tough period of the season after being stunned by second-tier Southampton in the FA Cup quarterfinals, two weeks after losing in the final of the English League Cup. However, the Gunners were boosted by the return of Declan Rice, Leandro Trossard and Jurrien Timber amongst others as they look to revive their silverware hopes.
