Portsmouth have scrambled back into the Championship since that clash but now face an imperious Arsenal side boasting far more quality and depth than they did six years ago. Mikel Arteta’s team are Europe’s strongest side at present and are tipped to swat their south coast hosts aside with little fuss.

The Thursday match at Emirates Stadium will be broadcast on NBCSN and streaming on Peacock. To catch the game live, you need a Peacock Premium or Premium Plus subscription. While Peacock is the least expensive option, live TV streaming services such as YouTube TV carry NBCSN in their channel lineups.
