Arsenal are looking for a second straight win in the Champions League when they host Olympiacos on Wednesday.
The Gunners began their European campaign on the perfect note, registering a confident 2-0 victory over Athletic Club. In their previous match in the Premier League, they left it late against Newcastle United before emerging 2-1 winners.
On the other hand, Olympiacos couldn't capitalise on their personnel advantage against 10-man Pafos in their Champions League opener and settled for a goalless stalemate.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Arsenal vs. Olympiacos lineups, team news
Mikel Arteta confirmed no fresh injury worries following the win at Newcastle, but due to the small gap between games, he will rotate.
William Saliba was not risked from the start at the weekend, as he replaced Cristhian Mosquera at half-time, and the France international should start in defence alongside Gabriel.
Captain Martin Odegaard is building back to full fitness, and could come back in here, with Arteta flexible to playing a more attacking midfield.
Eberechi Eze's form should keep him in the team, albeit with a positional tweak to accommodate Odegaard.
Arsenal predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Raya (GK) — Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori — Rice, Zubimendi, Odegaard — Saka, Gyokeres, Eze.
Injured: Jesus (ACL), Havertz (knee), Madueke (knee), Hincape (groin).
Suspended: None
Jose Luis Mendilibar has a squad packed with European experience including some memorable veteran names set to start at the Emirates Stadium.
Former Wolves winger Daniel Podence is back for his third spell at the club and ex-Porto striker Mehdi Taremi could lead the attack.
Olympiakos predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Paschalakis (GK) — Rodinei, Retsos, Pirola, Ortega — Hezze, Garcia — Strefezza, Chiquinho, Podence — Taremi.
Injured: None
Suspended: None
