Fenerbahce v. Arsenal, Champions League qualifying first leg, 7:45 pm UK time.
Fenerbahce and Arsenal both come into the first leg of tonight's UEFA Champions League qualifying tie with more than the usual amount of worries. The Turks will hear the result of their appeal against a two-year European ban on August 28, while Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been criticized by fans over the club's performance in the transfer market.
Arsenal have the capacity to come away with a win in Istanbul. The Gunners defeated eventual champion Bayern Munich away from home last season. They also hold the edge over Fenerbahce, having beaten them 5-2 in 2008/09 to end the Turkish side's 15-match unbeaten home run in Europe.
Wenger, who has been slammed in the press for missing out on big signing such as Gonzalo Higuain and Luis Gustabo, and who also appears unlikely to snap up Liverpool's Luiz Suarez, expects win here: "We try to win everywhere we go. This is the only target we have set ourselves.
