Porto vs Arsenal
Uefa Champions League, 20h45
Porto have a great record against British teams at Dragao. They've lost only to United once, and have beaten Chelsea and Liverpool; Arsenal lost there 2-0 in last year's group stage. The Gunners played that game with an understrength side being already qualified. Wenger will have to cope with the absencees of Van Persie, Vela, Eduardo, Arshavin, Gallas and Song.
Porto are not first in the domestic league, which is some news. But they will still poise a big threat to the Londoners tonight. Look for Falcao to deliver, but also for the hunger of Brazilian Hulk. Porto have created 128 scoring chances in the group stage to Arsenal's 101.
I tip Porto to score first, at 4/5.
