What channel is Sporting CP v Arsenal Champions League match on? Kick-off time, TV coverage and live stream details

Check out how to watch Sporting CP v Arsenal in the Champions League, including TV channel and kick-off time.

Prologue 

Arsenal got back to winning ways at the weekend by dispatching Forest 3-0 at the Emirates to give a boost to their hopes of emerging victorious from a difficult assignment in Portugal. 

The Gunners lost 1-0 to Inter Milan last time out in the San Siro, and while another defeat would not be terminal to their Champions League qualifying hopes, boss Mikel Arteta will be determined to get his side into the qualfying stages as quickly as possible following strong home that has seen the north Londoners ease past PSG 2-0 and Shaktar Donetsk 1-0, to go with their doughty 0-0 draw at Atalanta in their first away match of this season's revamped tournament.

Sporting Club de Lisbon will be reeling from the loss of their talented young head coach Ruben Amorim who left for Manchester United. Amorim guided his Sporting side past Arsenal two seasons ago in the Europa League on penalties, following two draws in the knockout stage. 

The tough clash represents a respite of sorts from the pressure of the Premier League title race for Arsenal, who are also chasing their first ever trophy in this tournament.
