Arsenal host Lille in the Champions League on Tuesday evening, seeking a second consecutive win in the competition.

Arsenal host Lille in the Champions League on Tuesday evening at 8pm BST, seeking to make it two wins from two in the new league phase. The Gunners beat Napoli 1-0 in their opening fixture and return to the Emirates for their first home game in the competition since reaching last season's final. They come into the match off the back of a 2-1 Premier League victory over Leeds at the weekend, with Bruno Guimaraes scoring the winner.

Lille are second in the French top flight but suffered a painful opening to their European campaign, losing 3-2 at home to Real Betis after leading 2-1 at half-time. They have since bounced back with a 1-0 win over Le Havre in Ligue 1 last weekend, with Dilane Bakwa scoring the only goal. The French side are managed by Davide Ancelotti, the son of Carlo Ancelotti, who has overseen four wins, a draw and a defeat in his first six Ligue 1 games.

Arsenal will be without several players for Tuesday's match. William Saliba remains sidelined with a back injury, whilst Christos Tzolis and Kai Havertz are unavailable. Riccardo Calafiori is expected to continue at left-back after scoring the equaliser against Leeds. Lille will be without 19-year-old Ethan Mbappé, the younger brother of Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappé, who is both suspended and suffering from an ankle injury.

The match will be broadcast on TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate in the UK, with pre-match coverage beginning at 7pm BST. The game will also be available to stream on the HBO Max platform for TNT subscribers. In Ireland, the match is being shown free-to-air on Virgin Media Two with streaming via Virgin Media Play.
