Life after Ruben Amorim started in emphatic fashion for Sporting CP on Friday night, as they ran out 6-0 winners against third-tier Amarante in the domestic cup action. It's fair to say the difficulty level will increase for Joao Pereira's second match at a helm as they face English giants Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League UCL, but the Lions are unlikely to be daunted given their unbeaten record in Europe this season (W3, D1). That includes a 4-1 thumping win over the English reigning champions Manchester City on matchday four.
Arsenal were also victorious at the weekend, with their comprehensive 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest ending a three match winless run across all competitions (D1, L2). That includes the 1-0 loss to Inter Milan in the Matchday four of the UEFA Champions League, leaving the Gunners outside of top-eight with work to do to secure an automatic passage to the last 16 (W2, D1, L1). Goals have been a particular problems for Arsenal in this competition, netting just three times in those four outings, How far can they get score in tonight's match up against the goalscoring Sporting CP.
