SPORTING LISBON 0-1 ARSENAL
FT: Not spectacular, but Arsenal won an impressive eleventh match on the rebound. This also gives them a place in the next round of the competition.
94: It should be red. Coates plunges his head clearly towards Lichtsteiner, who hits hard. None of the officials have identified it – but I imagine that retrospective measures will be taken.
93: Leno takes the turn with authority and sends Arsenal on his way.
92: Rambo commits a foul in the middle of the Arsenal field. Sporting sends almost everyone in the other side, but Rob Holding bravely goes into the corner. Excellent show of him tonight.
90: If that ends in favor of Arsenal, the Unai Emery team will have collected the maximum of nine points in three games. I think this is enough to ensure progression in the next round.
Five minutes of extra time.
88: The night of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is over. Alex Iwobi arrives for the last stages. Looks like a night off for Mesut Ozil, who traveled with the team.
85: It's game management for Arsenal now. Lucas Torreira and Guendouzi do a remarkable job of reducing attacks and keeping possession of the ball. Good duo in the middle of the park.

83: Cabral cuts in and makes a left-foot effort to get to the goal, but Rob Holding hits a big block. Sport can not do damage when cornering.
80: And that turns out to be Welbeck's last action of the evening. He has a standing ovation and Alexandre Lacazette intervenes for the last 10 minutes.
SPORTING LISBON 0-1 ARSENAL | WELCOME
77: We have a goal – a real goal! Danny Welbeck continues to flourish under Unai Emery with a clinical finish to give Arsenal the lead.
Coates, formerly of Liverpool and Sunderland, stumbles when he recovers a routine pbad, allowing Welbeck to drift and shoot past Ribeiro.
Arsenal on the way for an 11th consecutive victory …
76: Acuna and goalkeeper Ribeiro are injured in separate incidents – and take a little time to get up. Any ease that Arsenal was building was lost.
73: Coates booked a foul on Aubameyang. Free kick for Arsenal in a pretty dangerous position 20 meters from goal.
Torreira and Mkhitaryan are standing on … whoosh! The delicate strike of Torreira is mastered by Ribeiro. Good except because he saw it late.

70: Sports goalkeeper Ribeiro removes the Lichtsteiner cross below his crossbar.
You just feel that something is going to happen soon. Be ready…
68: The ball is in the net … but it does not matter! Danny Welbeck lifts in the center a corner from the right, but the team is penalized when climbing over the defender. Seemed a bit soft in my opinion. Unlucky, and I do not say that just because I have it as the first scorer tonight …
65: Still no goal for Sporting tonight. Montero almost recorded the first until Guendouzi had his body across.
63: Mkhitaryan wins a corner for Arsenal. His outdoor delivery is erased and Lichtsteiner is sanctioned for being pushed into the penalty box.
60: I just checked the time and it remains virgin in Lisbon. Is it time for Mesut Ozil?
59: I am happy to announce that we finally have a game in our hands. These two parties are sending out figures in search of this important opening match.
Unai Emery makes a change with Lucas Torreira replacing Mohamed Elneny. The Egyptian genre has withdrawn from play by the end of the first semester.

56: Oh, he missed that! Guendouzi is extremely good at pbading his marker on the left and serves him on a silver board to Danny Welbeck, who strikes the defender directly. On both sides and that's the breakthrough.
Not clinical visitors, but they certainly woke up.
55: Henrikh Mkhitaryan had booked a solid challenge on Battaglia. Useless, really but the crowd appreciated – they are still unhappy with Sokratis' fault.
54: Aubameyang is clean through … saved! You would have put your mortgage on the fact that he scored that opportunity after taking off Coates. The Gabonese international is trying to cut it on Ribeiro, who claw it. Should be 1-0 at Arsenal.
51: Aubameyang with his first sight at goal. Guendouzi finds Mkhitaryan, who pbades it on to the attacker. His oblique effort is pushed high for a corner, which is easily cleared.
48: Rob Holding receives a yellow card right after the restart for a fairly innocent foul near the center line. Nani sends the free-kick to Montero, who has a header.
SPORTING LISBON 0-0 ARSENAL
45: Unai Emery seems to be watching us all in the picture above. The boss of Arsenal sent his players early for the second period, just minutes before the start of Sporting. We are back in clbad. Oh, Gaspar replaces the injured Ristovski.

Kev: Arsenal is on the right track, but is it enough to face big teams? I am a fan of Arsenal but I am always worried.
Criv: Arsenal is the luckiest team by far this week! He escaped with a red card and a penalty against Leicester and Sokratis should now see the red against Sporting.
Sean Turner: Another slow start from Arsenal. Coaching staff may need to consider giving players their oranges half-time before the start of the match.

SPORTING LISBON 0-0 ARSENAL
HT: Not great. Sporting almost concealed these 45 minutes but mostly thanks to Bruno Fernandes and Nani who shot from anywhere on the pitch. Many changes from Unai Emery for the shock of tonight – too much?
45: Nani wins a corner just before the break, but Danny Welbeck is back to clear the danger. The atmosphere is growing well too now.
43: I should have known that it would be a tedious job. Arsenal has never beaten the Portuguese on the outside (D3 L3), losing all of their last three.
40: Now, what can Arsenal do with a free kick from the good sideline … absolutely nothing! A horrible performance of Granit Xhaka relaxes completely.
38: Acuna is a good player. He argues even better by pleading his innocence to arbitrate Damir Skomina after being delayed by Lichtsteiner. He booked.
35: Yes, after seeing the retransmission, I think Sokratis got away with one. Anyway, Elneny frees Welbeck on the other end of the pitch, but he does not find Aubameyang lurking in the box.

33: GREAT DECISION! Sokratis lightly judged a clearance in the lead near the center line and the Sporting Montero striker intervened. The center back of the Arsenal is the last man and desperately pulls Montero's shirt.
This should be an eviction in my notebook but the referee Damir Skomina completely ignores the incident.
30: It's straight out of the Nani game book. Arsenal tries to get him out of the back and the former Manchester United winger hits this one over the crossbar.
28: The commentator of BT Sport has just set 60 seconds to say how green everything is in the stadium. This should give you an indication of how many chances we see.
25: Mohamed Elneny is close to winning a penalty. The coates with an awkward JUST challenge off the beaten track and Arsenal themselves have a very dangerous adjustment room.
Mkhitaryan s' advance … saved. The Armenian international strikes the ball directly to Ribeiro, who clears.

22: Bruno Fernandes pushes Lichtsteiner before scoring the ball over the crossbar. The Swiss lost to take the lead of the first center and Fernandes is punished for a high kick.
No malice, but that did not stop Lichtsteiner from having the spirit of referee Damir Skomina.
19: Bruno Fernandes certainly does not lack self-confidence. He cleared the left sideline with Lichtsteiner out of position and hammered it into the stands.
17: Supporters heading to the stadium after work will be delighted with these rather dark opening conversations. Neither side was able to make more than five pbades. I do not think Aubameyang has hit the ball yet.
15: Granite Xhaka is trapped by Bruno Fernandes and his fortunate left-back splits and catches the Sporting star on his toes. Fortunately to avoid an early booking.
13: Aaron Ramsey plays a deeper role tonight. He is alongside Guendouzi in the middle of the field and Elneny is looking for the most advanced player. Not quite sure of that, too.

ten: Good Marcos Acuna solo run, which makes its way beyond Mkhitaryan and Lichtsteiner before seeing a center / shot blocked by Sokratis's belly.
8: Lichtsteiner should be happy to go back to his favorite right back position. I would not say he worked hard on the left back against Leicester on Monday, but it's certainly not where he can best showcase his talents.
5: Gudelj looks to change the game and targets Granite Xhaka, left-back of fortune. His crossfield pbad comes out of the game.
3: Arsenal have not been relegated to the trap in recent Premier League matches. In fact, they have the bad habit of falling behind before things click.
As usual, the Sporting won the first corner, but the young Guendouzi goes up very high.
SPORTING LISBON 0-0 ARSENAL
1: And after a painfully silent Europa League anthem (why the hell do we even need that), we're on our way. Apparently, the Portuguese offices run until 7 pm – so we expect a better atmosphere in the second half.
Also, do we think that the fact that Aaron Ramsey is wearing the captain's armband can be perceived as an olive branch of Unai Emery?

Where is everyone?
5:50 p.m.: We are about five minutes from the sending shot, but there are thousands of empty seats. Apparently, Croatia against England in Rijeka is currently competing for the pre-match atmosphere …
Xhaka …
17h45: Granite Xhaka, Arsenal midfielder: "This is our toughest game, it's a great team and they have a good story.
"The name is the most important of the group because we do not know much about other teams.I asked my brother about Sporting because he played here in Basel and he said that was a difficult place. "
Clever Observations, Granite.
Specialist

"We are trying to play with Granit Xhaka"
5:35 p.m.: Unai Emery, head of Arsenal: "We sometimes start slowly in the matches and it is important to change that because we have worked hard in many matches."
"We now have two left backs who are injured – Sead Kolasinac and Nacho Monreal – so we're trying to play with Granit Xhaka, he's positive and has quality with his left foot, I wanted to try this option."

Tommy: If I play sports in Lisbon tonight, I put Nani in Granit Xhaka all night long!
Amen: My boy Granit Xhaka moves from the defensive midfielder to the left back and ends up becoming goalkeeper in the years to come. Unai Emery, we see your plans.
Tom: Is it just me or is the dating planning system ridiculous? Arsenal plays the latest news from everyone Monday night and will play Thursday morning's match in Portugal? Would common sense change Sunday's match with that of Monday night?

RVP …
5:20 p.m.: Former Dutch striker Robin van Persie is expected to retire at the end of the season.
The 35-year-old is currently back at Feyenoord, the club with which he climbed the ladder before joining Arsenal in 2004.
Van Persie then won the FA Cup with the Gunners before joining Manchester United. He then helped to send Sir Alex Ferguson's team back to the 2012-13 Premier League.
With 50 goals in 102 caps for the Netherlands, Van Persie was part of the Oranje group that reached the 2010 World Cup final by tilting in front of Spain. He was also captain of the team that finished third four years later.
In July 2015, Van Persie left Old Trafford to settle in Fenerbahce, Turkey before returning to his country in January and helping Feyenoord to win the KNVB Cup.
In an interview with Dutch media ad, Van Persie confirmed his intention to make the last campaign his last player.
"When do I have to stop? It's normally at the end of this season," Van Persie said. "I'm going to be 36 years old, I've been a professional for 18 years and since the age of five, I only practice football."

Sports form …
17h15: Despite the upheaval, the 2018 sports clbad has only lost two games in all competitions so far this season.
They prepared for the visit of their Premier League opponents by eliminating the Loures 2-1 minnows in the Taca de Portugal.
Before that, they had slipped to Portimonense (4-2) and were now fifth in the standings.
Their Europa League campaign started with two wins but Sporting required two goals from Fredy Montero and Jovane Cabral to neutralize Ukraine's Vorskla Poltava.

Companion of Cech
5:10 p.m.: Petr Cech started the campaign as the first choice despite the summer signing of the German international Bernd Leno.
However, the 36-year-old, who was due to travel to Portugal, remains on the sidelines after suffering a tendon tendon injury during the victory over Watford last month, which played in Leno's favor.
The newcomer had to deal with Europa League and Carabao Cup football, but made his way into the German squad after a series of impressive displays since replacing Cech.
Leno is also more comfortable facing the back – a goal Emery wants to promote – and played a key role in preparing for the ultimate goal of the 3-1 home win against Leicester against Former player of Bayer Leverkusen. down the first place with another badured performance.
News from the team
5:05 p.m.: Let's take a closer look at this arsenal beginning XI. Well, Unai Emery made six changes to Monday's win over Leicester.
Bernd Leno, Stephan Lichtsteiner, Rob Holding, Granite Xhaka and Henrikh Mkhitaryan all started.
Sokratis Papastathopoulos is also back after a recent ankle injury.
Aaron Ramsey and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang both start with Danny Welbeck at the front of the pack. And yes, Granit Xhaka really starts from the left back.

A sporting chance
17h00: Do not get me wrong, the sport is not limited to inventing the numbers.
They had a difficult summer as 11 players left the club following a training ground attack by disgruntled supporters. The fallout from Rui Patricio and Bas Dost, who do not respect their contracts, continue to rage as the manager, Jose Peseiro, tries to stay the course.
Like Arsenal, Sporting has lost only twice this season and has brought former Manchester United player Nani back to the club, one of many men having signed to replace those who left after the disturbance.

Form…
4:55 p.m.: It's almost obscene how much Arsenal has been entertaining recently.
The 3-1 Premier League win over Leicester on Monday night helped Arsenal win 10 straight victories. The last time they failed to win a match, it was August 18 and visitors will want to keep this feeling of victory intact in the Portuguese capital.
By the way, Lisbon is lovely. I repeat it often in this blog – I might have an anecdote to tell about a recent visit …

Dave: Uh what ?! Granite Xhaka starts from the left back ?! Hell, if it makes the most of it, I'm all for it!
Sonny: A strong team and a powerful bench, good enough to win this game. Sporting Lisbon is a decent team, so we can not take them lightly
James: Appears to be Xhaka from the left back. Remember some time ago, Emery talked about trying Danny Welbeck in this position at workout. Xhaka had not been mentioned at that time, but ended Monday's match at Leicester.
