What is the current form of Arsenal compared to Sporting CP?

Arsenal is currently on a role. The Gunners head into this clash off the back of their impressive 3-1 win over Leicester, their seventh straight victory in the Premier League and 10th in all competitions. They have not suffered a defeat since the 3-2 loss to Chelsea on August 18.

Sporting also boasts a 100 percent in the Europa League this season, but their recent form has been mixed. The Portuguese outfit has lost two of their last three Primeira Liga ties but has won six of their last eight games in all competitions.

What is the current position of Sporting CP and Arsenal in the Europa League table?

Both of these sides are favorites to qualify out of Group E, but the question is who will finish in the first spot? The Portuguese and English clubs are tied on six points each, having won their opening two games, but the north London outfit holds a slight advantage due to their superior goal difference.

Should Unai Emery's in-form side win, they will be well on their way to winning the group. A draw would also be in their favor, as the Lions will have to travel to the Emirates for the reverse fixture.
