Preview:
Sporting CP head into this after a 1-0 away win over Portimonense in their previous league clash on Saturday.
This made it 4 wins in succession across competitions with Paulinho’s second half effort ensuring the win.
The victory moved Sporting CP to 4th place in the table with 47 points. The Portuguese side dispatched Midtjylland 5-1 on aggregate to qualify from the Round of 32.
On the other hand, Arsenal survived a late scare in a 3-2 thriller win over Bournemouth at home in the EPL on Saturday.
Billing and Senesi scored in either half to send Bournemouth 2-0 ahead but strikes from Partey, White and a late effort from Nelson ensured a turnaround win.
This win kept Arsenal top of the table and in control of their destiny.
The Gunners qualified for the UEL Round of 16 after having topped their group with 15 points from 6 matches.
Both teams last met in November 2018 during the UEL group stage, where it ended goalless.
