Arsenal make the trip to face Club Brugge in the Champions League on Wednesday evening.
The Gunners will be looking to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa that saw their 18-game unbeaten run brought to an end. Leandro Trossard levelled matters after Matty Cash had put the hosts ahead, but Emiliano Buendía struck in stoppage time to steal the three points.
Club Brugge fell to a surprise loss in their last outing as they were defeated 3-2 by STVV to fall to third in the Belgian Pro League.
Mikel Arteta's side sit top of the league phase table having won all five of their games so far, whereas Brugge are 26th with just one win and one draw from their opening matches. Both sides will be looking to take the three points with Arsenal hoping to go one step closer to securing qualification and their hosts eager to keep their chances alive.
Here's our preview of the Gunners' visit to Club Brugge.

Club Brugge team news
Ivan Leko could be unable to field his two first-choice goalkeepers after both Simon Mignolet and Nordin Jackers missed their weekend defeat at STVV.
Centre-back Zaid Romero, midfield duo Lynnt Audoor and Ludovit Reis and striker Romeo Vermant are also on the injury list for the hosts, who can at least field a couple of highly-rated talents.
Predicted Club Brugge lineup vs Arsenal: Van den Heuvel; Siquet, Mechele, Ordonez, Seys; Stankovic, Onyedika; Forbs, Vanaken, Tzolis; Tresoldi
Arsenal team news
Arsenal continue to struggle with injuries with Cristhian Mosquera and Gabriel Magalhaes remaining absent. William Saliba remains a doubt and Riccardo Calafiori may join him on the sidelines after limping off against Villa.
If the Italian is fit, he should start as he will miss the weekend's trip to Wolves due to suspension. However, Myles Lewis-Skelly could be brought in as an alternative.
Viktor Gyökeres could start with Noni Madueke also a likely candidate to play from the off. Declan Rice and Mikel Merino are both one booking away from suspension so they will have to be careful if they start.
Predicted Arsenal lineup vs Club Brugge: Raya; White, Timber, Hincapie, Lewis-Skelly; Nwaneri, Zubimendi, Merino; Madueke, Gyökeres, Martinelli
Club Brugge vs Arsenal score prediction
Arsenal should be strong favourites for this clash, even after their defeat to Villa. They will be raring to go in Belgium as they look to bounce back.
Club Brugge could cause the Gunners a few problems, just as they did for Barcelona when they drew 3-3 in early November, but Arteta's side should be confident they can sweep Wednesday's hosts aside.
