Barcelona vs Arsenal: Probable Lineups, Stats, Prediction & Odds

Barcelona host Arsenal in the second leg of the first knockout round in the UEFA Champions League hoping to finish the job against the London outfit who will have to play out of their skin to overturn a 2-0 deficit.

Barcelona finished 2-0 winners at the Emirates stadium, with the London outfit hardly managing to get a sniff of the ball. The Catalans will be without the suspended Gerard Pique when they welcome the injury-hit Arsenal side to the Nou Camp.

Arsenal have lost a host of midfield players to injury, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Aaron Ramsey, Jack Wilshere, Tomas Rosicky and Mikel Arteta all out of the game. Santi Cazorla and Petr Cech will also miss the tie due to health concerns.

Prediction

Barcelona 4-0 Arsenal

Barcelona have not lost at home this entire season, with their last dropped points dating back to December in the league game against Deportivo de La Coruna. With injury-hit Arsenal suffering from an apparent confidence crisis following a spate of criticism due to their recent form, the Gunners will have an incredibly difficult task at hand in this game.

We predict an easy win for the Catalans.
