Two clubs chasing UEFA Champions League glory will do battle today in a match between Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal. The group-stage match scheduled for 2:45 p.m. ET will be held at the Westfalenstadion in Dortmund and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on Fox Sports 1.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger had this to offer ahead of today's European encounter (via UEFA): "It is no big advantage that we have played against each other a couple times in the past. Matches between Arsenal and Dortmund are always exciting, but also difficult. We have had a very physical match against Man[chester] City and hopefully we're fit"
Goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny continued by adding: "It is important to make it to through the group stage, but first of all we focus on the match tomorrow. I'm quite confident. Last year we played very well here and won, luckily. Hopefully we can repeat that."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Borussia Dortmund's Shinji Kagawa is back where he belongs, sitting in the No. 10 role behind the striker. The 25-year-old reopened his club scoring account in his first start and finished the match with only one turnover. Having faced Arsenal as a member of Manchester United, Kagawa's familiarity with the opposition will serve as an added benefit.
Borussia Dortmund's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Weidenfeller; Durm, Sokratis, Subotic, Piszczek; Kehl, Bender; Grosskreutz, Kagawa, Mkhitaryan; Ramos
Arsenal's Projected Lineup (4-1-4-1): Szczesny; Gibbs, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Chambers; Arteta; Wilshere, Ramsey, Ozil, Sanchez; Welbeck
