Preview: Arsenal vs. Galatasaray

Sports Mole looks ahead to Tuesday's clash between Arsenal and Galatasaray in the Champions League.

Arsenal can pick up their first points of this season's Champions League on Wednesday night when they welcome Galatasaray to the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners are currently at the bottom of Group B following a 2-0 defeat away to Borussia Dortmund in their opening fixture of the competition.

Arsene Wenger's side have experienced more fortune domestically than in Europe this term, with two wins and four draws putting them in fourth place in the Premier League table.

Galatasaray head to London with one point after coming from behind to earn a 1-1 draw at home to Anderlecht a fortnight ago.

The Turks were on the verge of a defeat in their first match of the campaign, but Burak Yilmaz's 93rd-minute strike salvaged them a share of the spoils against the Belgians.

Aaron Ramsey and Mikel Arteta are both sidelined for Arsenal after the duo suffered injuries during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur. Gala are expected to be without Veysel Sari and Blerim Dzemaili.
