This is surely one of the games of the tournament so far tonight.


The deciding leg will take place in three weeks, at Camp Nou on Wednesday, March 22.


Arsenal will look to secure their first entry in the quarter-finals of Europe's biggest club tournament in over six years. The Arsene Wenger managed club have never managed to progress into the next round at the expense of Barcelona, having faced them seven times, winning only once and losing four.


Barcelona overcame Arsenal in the same stage in the last time they met in 2011, and also beat them twice earlier in 1999 (Group Stage) and 2010 (Quarters) respectively.


Likely Line-ups:


Arsenal: Petr Cech; Hector Bellerin, Per Mertesacker, Laurent Koscielny, Nacho Monreal; Aaron Ramsey, Francis Coquelin; Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez; Olivier Giroud.


Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Dani Alves, Gerard Pique, Javier Mascherano, Jordi Alba; Sergio Busquets, Ivan Rakitic, Andres Iniesta; Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Neymar.
