Arsenal's goal for the first Champions League phase is surely to finish among the best eight teams. In the first two rounds, the Gunners collected four points. Arsenal were brilliant in the games before the previous international break with four wins in a row. The great run was disrupted for the weekend when Mikel Arteta's team lost 2-0 on the road in Bournemouth. Everything changed when William Saliba got a red card in the first half. The home side magnificently used the advantage and Arsenal suffered the first defeat of the season.
In the first two Champions League rounds, Shakhtar Donetsk didn't score, but they won one point. Realistically, it is hard to imagine the Ukrainian team fighting for the playoffs this season. Shakhtar Donetsk struggles even in the national league, where they are currently fourth on the table with nine points from nine matches. Shakhtar won only three of the last six games in all competitions. In the previous game, they won 1-0 on the road against Kolos Kovalivka.
Arsenal vs Shakhtar Donetsk pick: Over 3.5 goals
Arsenal scored 16 goals in the last six matches. On the other hand, Shakhtar Donetsk scored 11 goals in the previous five games. We should expect at least four goals on Tuesday at the Emirates Stadium.

Shakhtar Donetsk will have all important players available. The only missing should be a young goalkeeper, Tymur Puzankov, who is nursing a knee injury. The head coach, Marino Pusic, will field the best possible eleven at the Emirates Stadium.
