ARSENAL's highly rated defender, William Saliba is confident in the team's ability to get the job done against Porto on Tuesday in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16.

Porto already have the upper hand as they took out the Gunners in their last encounter with a 1-0 win, with the goal coming in the last minute of the match as they go into the second leg with an advantage over the Gunners at the Emirate Stadium.

Asked if the Gunners have learned from their first-leg defeat, Saliba said: “Yes. We know they are smart and have experience. We have to compete with that and now we are ready. We have to win and we will give everything — we can’t wait to play.”

Arsenal is in good form currently as they sit top of the Premier League table with a goal difference, having won eight games in a row this season; meaning they are yet to lose a Premier League game this year.

The Gunners are due to hold their final training session on Monday afternoon, with a decision on the squad to face Porto set to be made after that, which could see Gabriel Martinelli miss out due to injury.
