Barcelona v Arsenal preview

In what is one of the most important games of the season for both teams, if not for football in general, Arsenal will travel to the Nou Camp to take on Barcelona tonight.


Arsenal, having won the first leg, will be hoping that their big game players will be available to seal the victory. Cesc Fabregas has been rated as 90% fit, while Robin Van Persie has also been named in the squad, subject to fitness test later today.


After the bitter disappointment of losing the Carling Cup Final to Birmingham, and being held by Sunderland at the weekend, Arsenal have looked shaky and will require their big players to steady the ship.


Barcelona warmed up for the game by beating Zaragoza 1-0, with many of their influential players on the bench.


Premier League and Champions League football tickets are available now.
