Champions League 2025-2026: Club Brugge-Arsenal, the likely lineups

Club Brugge hosts Arsenal on Wednesday at 9 p.m. at the Jan Breydel Stadion in the sixth day of the Champions League. The Belgians are coming off a loss against Sporting, their third defeat in their last four European outings, a result that slips them momentarily out of the playoff zone, now two points away. Arsenal, on the other hand, is living a diametrically opposite moment: the home success over Bayern Munich confirmed the Gunners at full points and at the lone lead in the group, with the pass to the round of 16 now within reach.

On the Belgian front, no changes are expected: Club Brugge should re-propose the usual set-up, with Forbs, Vanaken and Tzolis composing the trdient on the three-quarter, behind the’only forward Tresoldi, while Stankovic and Onyedika will man the median.

Arteta will re-launch Gyokeres from the first minute in attack, flanked by Saka and Martinelli to complete the advanced department. In the midfield, Zubimendi in the booth, while in defense Lewis-Kelly is favored over Calafiori.
