Olympiakos are the visitors to the Emirates Stadium tonight as Paddy Power announce a free Champions League bet on the game and report punters are piling into Arsenal at a price of 4/11 to triumph.
The two sides had contrasting starts to the competition – the Gunners taking a 2-1 victory at Montpellier, whereas Olympiakos were defeated on home soil by Schalke.
Arsenal will have been delighted with their start against the French champions and know that another victory here would put them in a very strong position in the group.
The London club must make the Emirates Stadium a fortress, something they have done in the Champions League over recent years. It has been 15 matches since they tasted defeat in this tournament on home soil.

With so much attacking talent on show, Arsene Wenger will feel confident about his men’s chances of scoring goals and having too much for their opponents on Wednesday evening.
The likes of Lukas Podolski and Gervinho have been the men amongst the goals this campaign and are sure to be a threat yet again should they feature.
It will be far from easy from the Gunners though as they go against an Olympiakos side that are not only desperate for the points, but also in good form at the moment in Greece’s top flight.
They sit on top of the league after five matches, and have taken maximum points. Now though, the Greek club must take that form into Europe’s elite club competition.
Failure to do so and they could find themselves with it all to do to reach the knockout stages.
Olympiakos will be relying on Algerian international Rafik Djebbour to be at his clinical best in North London and try to take any half chance he may be given. Djebbour has six goals already this campaign.
Both of these teams love to play attacking football, meaning an entertaining 90 minutes is all but guaranteed. Kick-off is 7.45PM.
