Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund will clash in one of the most exciting games in this week’s Champions League as they meet this Tuesday at Emirates Stadium at 2:45 PM ET.

The game belongs to group F and features the leader Arsenal, which has six points after two wins against last season runner-up, Dortmund, who’s third in the zone with three points; Napoli is second also with three units.

Borussia beat Hannover 1-0 on the weekend with a Marco Reus penalty kick goal, but coach Jurgen Klopp said his team might have been thinking about the game on Tuesday.

“With a view to Tuesday, the Hanover win was a game that pushed us forward,” Klopp told reporters. Especially for those players who had only trained twice before Hanover. So we will be a further step forward when we face Arsenal.”

Dortmund is second in the Bundesliga standings, just one point behind champions Bayern Munich.

On the other hand, Arsenal crushed Norwich City 4-1 with two goals from Mesut Ozil; they lead the Premier League with 19 points, two ahead of Chelsea.

“We have a squad that is very, very good in quality and in numbers,” Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger said. “If there is a good opportunity to make another signing in January, why not? But we are not desperate now.

Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund met for the last time in 2011; the English beat the Germans when they played at London 2-1 that season.

The soccer odds for this one has Arsenal listed +125, Dortmund +190 and a draw +225.
