Arsenal have fallen behind in the English Premier League title race with no wins in their last two league matches. They face PSV in the first leg of their Champions League Round of 16 tie, with an aim to go further in the competition. The Gunners finished third in the group stage behind Liverpool and Barcelona. With their form largely good in Europe, the team will be confident to get back to winning ways here. PSV on the other hand ended up at 14th but finished their last five games in group phase with four wins. At home, they can be a rigid team to breakdown.

Luuk de Jong has the big game experience and should play the lone striker up top.
