Perfect so far in this season's Champions League, Arsenal head to Belgium tonight aiming to keep their flawless run alive against Club Brugge.
Mikel Arteta's men stand alone as the only team to collect all 15 points in the league phase, sitting three clear of European giants PSG, Bayern Munich, Inter and Real Madrid at the top of the pile.
But their domestic momentum took a hit at the weekend, as a painful 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa trimmed their Premier League lead to just two points and served as a sharp reminder that nothing comes easy in December.
AllSportsPeople brings you the latest tips and predictions for this match.
Club Brugge vs. Arsenal Betting Preview: Who will win?
Arsenal hardly lacked creativity against Aston Villa; they carved out four clear-cut chances, but their finishing touch deserted them, something they'll expect to correct tonight.
Arteta's side face Club Brugge at a rough time for the injury-stricken Belgian outfit, and even with rotation in the lineup, the Gunners should be well on course to seal their place in the last 16 with minimal fuss.

Head-to-Head: Club Brugge vs. Arsenal
- Mikel Arteta leads Arsenal into uncharted territory this week as they head to Belgium for their first-ever meeting with Club Brugge. The hosts have turned the Jan Breydel Stadium into something of a Champions League fortress recently, going five league-phase games without defeat on home soil.
- However, their record against English opposition tells a far darker story, Brugge have been beaten in 14 of their last 18 clashes with Premier League sides. The numbers suggest the Belgians will need something special to flip the script this time.

Club Brugge vs. Arsenal Final Score Prediction
Arsenal head into this one still smarting from the gut punch they took at Villa Park, where a late strike condemned them to a 2-1 defeat. But in Europe, it's been a completely different story, Arteta's men have been bulldozing everything in their path.
Five Champions League matches, five wins, and a thumping 14-1 aggregate scoreline make them the only side in the competition still boasting a perfect record.
With Brugge wobbling since the November international break and struggling to rediscover their rhythm, this midweek trip feels tailor-made for Arsenal to steady themselves. All signs point to a comfortable away win.

Club Brugge vs. Arsenal Team News, Injury Latest
Club Brugge Team News
- As for Club Brugge, their injury woes continue. Simon Mignolet remains sidelined after another setback and missed the weekend clash with St. Truiden, while summer signing Ludovit Rei s, absent since late October, also looks set to remain unavailable.
- In midfield, highly touted Nigerian talent Raphael Onyedika will anchor the side again as speculation over a Premier League move gathers pace. At the back, 21-year-old Joel Ordonez, who has earned rave reviews over the past year, is expected to marshal Brugge's defence.
Arsenal Team News
- Mikel Arteta is expected to freshen things up tonight, with Arsenal heading to Brugge for their latest Champions League assignment. The Gunners boss will once again be without Cristhian Mosquera (ankle), Gabriel Magalhaes (thigh) and Kai Havertz (knee), while William Saliba (knock) and Riccardo Calafiori (unknown issue) remain question marks. Calafiori hobbled straight down the tunnel after the 2-1 loss to Aston Villa, and even though he's suspended domestically, Arteta may opt to protect him and hand Myles Lewis-Skelly a start if there's any doubt over his fitness.
- In defence, Arteta's options are limited. Unless Saliba makes an unexpected recovery, Piero Hincapie, Ben White and Jurrien Timber are likely to form the backbone of the back line once more.
- Further forward, however, the Arsenal manager has room to rotate. This feels like the right moment to give Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi a breather, with Christian Norgaard and young Ethan Nwaneri pushing for rare starting opportunities.
