Arsenal return to Champions League action as they host Atlético Madrid at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday evening.
The Gunners continued their winning form with a 1-0 victory at Fulham last time out with Leandro Trossard netting the only goal when he met Gabriel's flick-on from a corner. Mikel Arteta's side were also successful in their most recent European outing, defeating Olympiacos 2-0.
Atlético secured a narrow win in their previous game, beating Osasuna 1-0 at the Metropolitano Stadium. Thiago Almada netted the winner to send the Rojiblancos fourth in La Liga. After falling to Liverpool in their Champions League opener, Diego Simeone oversaw a dominant 5-1 win against Eintracht Frankfurt in their latest continental game.
Both sides will be hoping to replicate their weekend triumphs as they look to build on their recent form on the European stage. Arsenal have the opportunity to make it three wins from three while Atleti could break into the top eight with a win.
Here's our preview of the Gunners' continental clash with Atlético Madrid.

Arsenal team news
Mikel Arteta will be thankful his side came out of the win at Fulham unscathed with the same players set to be available once again. However, he could look to make a few changes to the team that took three points from Craven Cottage.
Both Declan Rice and Martín Zubimendi are one booking away from suspension so this could be something he keeps in mind when selecting the XI while he may also look to give chances to his backup options.
Myles Lewis-Skelly could replace Riccardo Calafiori at left back while Gabriel Martinelli might come in for Leandro Trossard on the flank.
Despite these potential rotations, Gabriel Jesus, Noni Madueke, Kai Havertz and Martin Ødegaard won't be involved as they remain long-term absentees for Arsenal.
Predicted Arsenal lineup vs Atlético Madrid: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Eze, Merino Rice; Saka, Gyökeres, Martinelli
Atlético Madrid team news
Nico Gonzalez will likely be unavailable for the visitors after suffering a head injury during the win over Osasuna. He is one of two of the visitors' only fitness concerns with Johnny Cardoso also unavailable due to an ankle issue.
Giuliano Simeone, son of Diego, was brought on to replace Gonzalez, but he won't necessarily start with Thiago Almada, Javi Galan, Matteo Ruggeri and Conor Gallagher all other options to operate on the left side.
Clement Lenglet could come back into the starting lineup after serving a suspension in La Liga.
Predicted Atlético Madrid lineup vs Arsenal: Oblak; Llorente, Le Normand, Lenglet, Ruggeri; Simeone, Barrios, Gallagher, Almada; Griezmann, Alvarez
Arsenal vs Atlético Madrid score prediction
This will certainly be a tough tie to call with both sides known for their defensive approach to games, Atlético doing so more often.
Arsenal will be looking to break down the resilient Atleti backline while also keeping the visitors at bay with their own solid defence. The likes of Viktor Gyökeres and Bukayo Saka will have a big test in breaking through with William Saliba and Gabriel also ready for their own challenge.
Despite this, the Gunners should be the favourites. Their squad has arguably higher quality and the good run of form they find themselves in should give them a huge boost going into the game. It won't be a runaway victory by any means and it will be tight, but Arsenal should take all three points from this game.
