PSV Eindhoven vs Arsenal - Champions League: TV channel, team news, lineups and prediction
- Arsenal take on PSV Eindhoven having already won Group B
- Gunners secured place in Champions League knockouts as group winners on Matchday 5
- PSV have joined Arsenal in round of 16
Arsenal will be able to enjoy Matchday 6 of the Champions League away at PSV Eindhoven knowing they've already progressed into the knockout stages as Group B winners.
The Gunners secured their knockout berth with an emphatic 6-0 beatdown of RC Lens two weeks ago.
As a result, Mikel Arteta is expected to give the fringe players of his squad a run-out on Tuesday evening given the hectic nature of Arsenal's schedule over Christmas. Still, the boss will be hoping for a response after his side were beaten by Aston Villa at the weekend.
PSV have also joined Premier League club in the round of 16 despite their campaign kicking off with a 4-0 defeat at the Emirates. Their dramatic 3-2 win at Sevilla means they have guaranteed their place in the knockouts. Peter Bosz's side have been imperious in the Eredivisie so far this season, winning all 15 games while boasting a remarkable +46 goal difference.
Here's 90min's preview of Tuesday's Champions League encounter.

PSV Eindhoven vs Arsenal score prediction
Arsenal took advantage of Bosz's overly aggressive style in the reverse fixture, but they likely won't have the personnel to capitalise on Tuesday evening.
While the Gunners' defeat at the weekend makes them more dangerous heading into this fixture, it's hard to envisage a second string side overcoming an effusive PSV outfit in a raucous Philips Stadion.
The visitors succumbed at this stadium in the Europa League last season, and it could be a similar story for Arteta's men in this fixture.
Prediction: PSV Eindhoven 3-1 Arsenal
