Borussia Dortmund vs. Arsenal: Date, Time, Live Stream, TV Info and Preview

Patrick ClarkeNov 5, 2013

Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal will clash for the second time in as many weeks on Wednesday when each looks to pick up three points in the Champions League Group F standings. 

Jurgen Klopp's side surprised the Gunners at the Emirates last month, taking advantage of a late goal from Robert Lewandowski to earn three points in hostile territory. Anything less than a draw in Dortmund on Wednesday, and the Gunners could potentially find themselves three points back of the top two spots. 

If Napoli beat winless Marseille at home, they'll move to the top of the group with nine points as well. Clearly, both top-flight clubs are in need of a positive result this weekend as they head into the home stretch of group play.

Top Storyline: Arsenal Preparing for Life Without Jack Wilshere

Arsenal will in all likelihood be without midfielder Jack Wilshere on Wednesday when they take on Borussia Dortmund. According to ESPNFC, the 21-year-old is dealing with an injured ankle that could keep him out for a significant period of time.

Though Wilshere wasn't very impressive in Arsenal's previous meeting with Dortmund, he's performed well in the Champions League overall. The England international boasts an average match rating of 6.71, per Who Scored.

While the injury doesn't crush Arsenal's chances, the news is still deflating for Arsene Wenger and his squad, who were only able to record two shots on goal against the German powerhouse the last time out despite dominating possession for the most part. 

Prediction 

The home team will be a heavy favorite to win on Wednesday, and it's definitely not hard to see why. 

After all, Dortmund was able to frustrate Arsenal on both ends two weeks ago and enters this week's game in the midst of a four-match winning streak. On top of that, Klopp's squad has yet to lose at home this season. 

The 2012-13 Champions League runners-up are 8-0-0 on their home pitch and have outscored those eight opponents by a combined count of 28-6.

While the Gunners are a step up in class, they'll have to make some mighty adjustments if they are to salvage a point in Dortmund on Wednesday.
