Arsenal are gearing up to make a strong impression as they face Atalanta at the Gewiss Stadium on Thursday night, marking their entry into the revamped Champions League. After a smash-and-grab win in the North London Derby at the weekend, the Gunners will be keen

After a six-year hiatus from Europe's elite competition, Mikel Arteta's squad made a notable return last season. However, their campaign was cut short in the quarter-finals by Bayern Munich. Despite the disappointment of narrowly missing out on their first Premier League title since 2004, the Gunners have bounced back this season with renewed vigour.

Their recent form in the Premier League has been impressive. Arsenal clinched a hard-fought 1-0 win over their fierce rivals Tottenham, making it three wins out of four matches so far. This victory has shown that they have left last season's setbacks behind and are ready for new challenges.

On the other side, Atalanta are back in the Champions League spotlight following their remarkable Europa League triumph last season. They showcased their prowess by defeating Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 in a stunning final held in Dublin.

Gian Piero Gasperini's team also returned to winning ways in Serie A with an exhilarating 3-2 victory over Fiorentina on Sunday, pushing them up to ninth place in the league standings.
