Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund will face off in the Champions League on Wednesday.
The English side has been terrific this season but lost a big game on Oct. 22 against Borussia Dortmund at home. Arsenal dominated the game but came up empty in a 2-1 defeat. That loss left three teams in the group with six points, making this meeting that much more important. A loss for Arsenal would potentially put the team in third place in the group with two games to a go. A win would put them into first place while a draw between the teams would afford Napoli the opportunity to jump into first with a win over Marseille.
Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp recently revealed that he has tremendous respect for the English side's coach Arsene Wenger, but does not enjoy the team's possession-based style of play.
"I think he [Wenger] likes having the ball, playing football, passes," Klopp said, according to The Guardian. "It's like an orchestra, but it's a silent song, yeah? And I like heavy metal more. I always want it loud! I want to have this: 'Booooom!'
"When I watch Arsenal in the last 10 years, it is nearly perfect football, but we all know they didn't win a title. In Britain they say that they like Arsenal but they have to win something," he added. "Who wins the title? Chelsea, but with different football, I would say. This is the philosophy of Arsene Wenger. I love this but I cannot coach this because I am a different guy."
Prediction: The teams draw 1-1.
Start Time: Kick-off starts at 2:45 p.m. EST
