The starting eleven chosen by João Pereira for his debut in the Champions League, as Sporting's coach, is already known. The new coach maintained Ruben Amorim's 3-4-3 and the main novelty is the presence of Edwards in the place that usually belongs to Pedro Gonçalves.
Sporting-Arsenal, from the fifth round of the Champions League, kicks off at 8pm, at the José de Alvalade Stadium. The match will be refereed by the Polish Szymon Marciniak.
