Arsenal vs Real Madrid: Prediction, kick-off time, team news, odds, h2h

Real Madrid have a formidable record in the Champions League and the 15-time winners arrive in north London as favourites with stars like Kylian Mbappe, Vinicus Jr and Jude Bellingham.

They have already knocked out Manchester City and Atletico Madrid to reach the quarter-finals but Arsenal have impressed in the Champions League this season and the Gunners are boosted by the return of Bukayo Saka, who is fit again after three months out with a hamstring injury.

This will be just the third meeting between the two clubs and Arsenal will be hoping for a repeat of their last encounter, when Thierry Henry inspired a 1-0 win at the Bernabeu before a 0-0 draw at Highbury on their way to the 2006 Champions League final.
