Arsenal vs. Atletico Madrid preview: Prediction, date, kick-off times, venue, how to watch Champions League match on DAZN
The Champions League resumes with the first of two semi-final second legs tonight, with Arsenal at home against Atletico Madrid.
The teams battled to a 1-1 draw last week in Madrid in a cagey game that featured two penalty goals and another overturned penalty that had Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta "fuming."
Ultimately, the teams split the spoils as expected, making tonight's match a win-and-move-on contest.
DAZN News has all the information ahead of Arsenal vs. Atletico Madrid.

That means that fans watching in the US and Canada can see the game at 3pm ET and 12pm PT, while it's a 8am kick-off on Wednesday, May 6, for fans in New Zealand.

The game will be played at Emirates Stadium in London.
Arsenal vs. Atletico Madrid - the key men
Viktor Gyokeres - Arsenal
Arsenal's goal scorer in the first leg, Gyokeres, will likely be chosen to lead the line for the Gunners once again.
His relentless pressing and willingness to do the dirty work up top will cause problems for the visitors, but Arteta will hope that he can also find the back of the net once again, given his two-goal showing against Fulham last weekend.
At the very least, Gyokeres' constant movement up front should serve to unsettle the Atletico defence and open up opportunities for his teammates in a match that Arsenal should expect to control.

Julian Alvarez - Atlético
Like Gyokeres, Alvarez delivered a textbook penalty kick in the first leg, but the Argentine offers so much more than that.
Capable of playing several different positions, Alvarez's intelligence is an asset to Atletico's attack, and his cool demeanour suits the big stage quite nicely.
Despite not filling the net this season at the same blistering pace he did during his maiden campaign with the Rojiblancos, Alvarez will often pop up with an impactful goal at just the right moment, which Atletico will bank on as visitors in North London.
Arsenal vs. Atletico Madrid prediction
Another cagey match should unfold in the second leg, except Arsenal will be expected to carry the play as the home team.
The Gunners are capable of finding another gear at the Emirates, where they defeated Atletico 4-0 in the league phase earlier this season.
This match should be closer than that October blowout, but the Gunners should still be favoured to come away with the victory.
Prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Atletico Madrid
