The semi-final first leg in Madrid ended 1-1
Arsenal are aiming for first appearance in major European final for 20 years
Recommended bet: Arsenal to win and both teams to score @ 5/2 with LiveScore Bet
Arsenal were left frustrated in their 1-1 draw at Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, but they can get over the line at the Emirates on Tuesday and book a place in the final.
The Gunners were a VAR-overturned penalty decision away from securing a priceless win in the Spanish capital, but a draw was by no means a bad result.
After they followed up with a confidence-boosting 3-0 victory over Fulham on Saturday to stay firmly on course for title glory in the Premier League, Mikel Arteta's men switch focus back to their Euro mission.
Atleti won 2-0 at Valencia over the weekend to keep themselves ticking over and will, of course, be dangerous in north London.

Team news
Bukayo Saka is set to shake off a minor complaint to feature for the hosts, while Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz are also carrying knocks but should be passed fit.
Jurrien Timber and Mikel Merino are making progress in their recoveries from injury but are unlikely to return on Tuesday.
Atletico's main man up front, Julian Alvarez, is set to be fit despite being forced off in the second half of the first leg, while Giuliano Simeone, Alexander Sorloth, Marcos Llorente and David Hancko will be assessed.
Jose Gimenez, Pablo Barrios and Nico Gonzalez are all on the sidelines for the visitors.
The stats
Arsenal remain the only unbeaten team in this season's Champions League (W10 D3).
This is the Gunners' joint longest unbeaten streak in the competition, matching the run they managed between March 2005 and April 2006.
Arsenal have only won two of their last six games in all competitions, while Atletico have won just two of their last seven matches.
Atleti have also only won two of their last 13 European matches against English teams, drawing three times and losing eight.
Arsenal beat Atletico 4-0 at the Emirates in the league phase in October.

Prediction
Arsenal successfully nullified Atletico's threat in the first leg and came away with a very respectable draw.
The second leg will likely be as intense and as closely-fought, but with the jeopardy of a final place now at stake, we should probably expect more chances and more goals.
The Gunners do not need to force the issue to begin with but, as the game progresses, the hosts will surely feed off their fans and force the initiative.
That could lead to spaces at the back which the Spaniards can exploit but, overall, Arteta's men should have the quality to get the job done.
It is 20 years since they lost to Barcelona in the Champions League final and a place in the continent's biggest club game awaits them again.
