Barcelona vs Arsenal

Arsenal travel to Camp Nou with the daunting task of trying to overturn a two goal deficit

Form

Arsene Wenger’s men travel to Barcelona with an almost impossible task at hand. After a clinical brace from Lional Messi in the first leg, Arsenal will have to start the game with all guns blazing.

Since then, Arsenal’s season has fallen apart. The current holders of the F.A Cup were dumped out as Watford came away with a 2-1 victory at the Emiartes. Arsenal have now lost three games in a row at home for the first time in fourteen years. Barcelona have been in stunning form of late. They have broken the Spanish record of going 35 without defeat in all competitions. The front three of Messi, Suarez and Neymar and tearing every defense apart. They are crushing every team at will. Surely they will dispatch Arsenal at ease?
