Arsenal and Galatasaray are playing live on the Champions League schedule on Wednesday and the match comes from Emirates Stadium starting at 2:45 pm ET on Fox Sports 1 and the live coverage is from Fox Soccer 2Go as the Gunners take on another Group D matchup for Arsene Wenger.
The Premier League side has played well this season and Wenger will have some changes, as Jack Wilshere will be in, while Aaron Ramsey and Mikel Arteta are going to be out. Wenger said he expects Wilshire to play even if he doesn't start and Arsenal comes in with zero points and they need to get something out of this match to stay alive in the group.
The group here in the UCL is a tough one and right now Borussia Dortmund has a nice lead with three points, while Anderlecht and Galatasaray are next in the standings over Arsenal. Wenger said he realizes how important the home matches are to advancing in the tournament and after losing to Dortmund, the team has the chance to bounce back. The Gunners have played well to start the season in the EPL, as they are in fourth place right now heading into the weekend.
Arsenal has Anderlecht later this month and after losing to Dortmund on the road, they will need points from that return matchup. Arsenal has a number of solid games coming up, including home and away with Anderlecht, as well as Sunderland and Swansea City. Chelsea is coming up as well and that will be a big matchup, as that game will be at Stamford Bridge for the Gunners and Blues.
Arsenal has played well in recent games in the EPL and they now have 10 points and they are pushing up the league table as they try and stay in position to make it into the Champions League again. The Gunners had a strong showing last season before fading a bit, but they were able to stay in the top four and qualified again. Arsene Wenger has his team hungry after finally getting a trophy last year and now they trail Man City by one point in the EPL standings.
Arsenal and Galatasaray will be playing on Fox Sports 1 and the matchup comes after Arsenal won over Besiktas in the playoff round and fell to Dortmund after that. The Group D matchup has the Gunners trying to bounce back and they need this one, as they are currently last in the table standings. The team comes in with zero points and they are chasing Anderlecht and Galatasaray right now and getting some points here would be huge and since it's home at the Emirates, it needs to be three.
The group stage can be very tough and with these teams in it, the Gunners need to find a way to get it done. The team made it through the playoff round after finishing fourth in the EPL behind Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea and now all those teams are looking to move forward.
