Match Day LIVE ,
Champions League Round of 16 matches second leg.
Emirates Stadium , London .
Time – 8 pm .

Arsenal vs PSV, Eindhoven of the Netherlands .
March 12, 2025 .

Unless , miracle happens today like it did in Damman , Saudi Arabia , where Nigeria came from behind to beat the former Soviet Union , after going down 4-1 and finally won ,, PSV May need a magical wand as well as serious prayesr to cancel the 7-1 goal deficit they conceded in the first leg in Holland , but we doubt such miracles these days .
The Gunners becomes the first team to score seven times at away in a champions league qualifying match , after eight shots on goal and seven on target is a record to behold .
Arsenal could also become the second English side to score 10 goals in a two legged match in the champions league after Man City s demolision of Schake 04 in 2018)2019, the hosts have won their last four champions league matches at home without conceding a goal.

Back in the domestic league last weekend ,Gunners five star pummelling of PSV of Eindhoven ,could not be translated to a win at Old Trafford , when they came from behind to get an equalizer to salvage a pont from Declan Rice goal , they spent almost 82 minutes throwing paper darts to a well fortified as well as disciplined Man United rear men, in a defence being marshalled by Harry Maguire , on a fairly tedious evening at Old Trafford .

Arsenal welcome s the heavily bruised and wounded PSV for the second leg revers e fixture at the Emirates stadium in London this night . He Dutch may also have a little inspiration tonight like PSG who boundled Liverpool out of the Champions League last night via penalties after cancelling the lone goal deficit in Paris ,may also save their campaign . But after beating Juventus in the play offs , it still a mistrey if the Dutch team will qualify for their first quarter finals match since 2006)2007 football season .
What will really happen tonight is that PSV champions league campaign this season will.cone to an end at the Emirate s stadium tonight .

Injury worries still hangs on the Gunners , with so many absentees in today s match , though , Gabreille Martinelli made a surprise come back in their last match , but a repeat today may not be possible . Raheem Sterling and Jurier Timberly are one card away from an European ban , with the likely hood of Ben White coming in to take over from the former.
Other players like are out of contenton namely , Oleksandr Zinchenko, Jorginho, Jakub Kiwior and Kieran Tierney will also vie for promotion to the XI – there could even be a spot in goal for Neto too – but Bukayo Saka (hamstring), Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee), Kai Havertz (hamstring) and Gabriel Jesus (knee).
With the above absentees list , Gunners first eleven is almost gone

For PSV , notable absentees are ,Malik Tillman (leg), Ricardo Pepi (knee) and Esmir Bajraktarevic (unspecified), but the Dutch outfit had no fresh Injury concerns in their victory over Heerenveen last weekend .
PSV Manager, Bosz will not like to see his side being over ran again at the Emirates this night so he still expects his team led by their mecurial attacker , Luuk de Jong -, to take to the field at the Emirates .

Predictions .

Today’s match is more or less a formality match with the Pummeling of last week at Eindhoven at Philips Stadium , and Gunners will cool off their first squad and prepare for the weekend cracker against old foes , Chelsea in the English Premsiehip League .
The Dutch team will have a field day just to show they are not pushing over s like that , but it’s already too late to cancel the massive goal deficit at Eindhoven , 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7…what a score line in a champions League match by an away team.

Predictions -1-1 or 2-1 .

Happy Viewing , Happy Humps day that’s Wednesday .
