Arsenal FC vs. Futebol Clube do Porto, 4:0

Arsenal couldn't win at Dynamo Kyiv two weeks ago, but will want to move into first place in Group G with a win over FC Porto on Tuesday. The Gunners will have to overcome their 1-2 home defeat in the Premiership but Hull City, something that according to Arsene Wenger was mostly to be blamed on the players' heights, not their skills. The French manager may sive Johan Djourou a try after this weekend's showing, while Samir Nasri returns from injury and might make an appearance as well. Porto boss Ferreira has very few injury worries. Lucho González missed the last match but is fit in time to face Arsenal. REVIEW: Arsenal did themselves a great favor on Tuesday, beating 2004 champions FC Porto 4-0 at Emirates Stadium. After a good start from both sides, it was Arsenal to open the score just after the half hour mark. Adebayor laid back to Van Persie, who scored from close range. Nine minutes later, Adebayor doubled the lead, heading home from a Van Persie corner. The Gunners added a third just after the break as Van Persie powered a shot into the far corner. And things got worse for Porto in the 71st minute, as a foul on Bendtner earned Arsenal a penalty, well converted by Emmanuel Adebayor. With four points from two games, Arsenal take the lead in Group G. FC Porto are second with three points.
