Sporting vs Arsenal: Live stream, TV channel, kick-off time & where ...

Arsenal will take on Sporting CP in the first leg of the Round of 16 in the Europa League at the Estadio Jose Alvalade XXI on Thursday evening.

The Gunners emerged as Group A winners and will now face Ruben Amorim's side, who brushed aside FC Midtjylland 5-1 (agg.) in the playoffs.

Arsenal fought back brilliantly against Bournemouth to seal a thrilling 3-2 victory in the Premier League last weekend which should boost their morale before resuming continental commitments.

Meanwhile, Sporting head into this fixture on the back of a narrow 1-0 win over Portimonense in the Primeira Liga.

They have not won anything on the continental stage since their 1963-64 European Cup Winners' Cup victory and now face a tough challenge in Arsenal to keep their hopes alive of European glory.
