6:15. Tonight's referee is Carlos Velasco Carballo from Spain.
6:12. Arsene Wenger's options for this game are incredibly limited especially in defensive areas. Most notably he is without his two first choice goalkeepers Wojciech Szczęsny, through suspension, and David Ospina, through a knee injury. The team are also without the likes of Laurent Koscielny and Mesut Ozil due to recent knocks, who join certain other long term absentees.
6:09. N'Sakala is the only player who is definitley ruled out for Anderlecht heading into this game with a knee injury. While there are some doubts on the fitness of Nuytink and Suarez.
6:08. Arsenal manger Arsene Wenger was adamant that this will not be an easy game for his side saying: "We know that we play in the Champions League, away from home, and it will be a battle." When asked about his age as it is his birthday, the Frenchmen responded: "We need to reduce the gap between performances and points and I still feel young enough."
6:05. Anderlecht manager Bensik Hasi had this to say ahead of tonight's game. "We have to play as we did against Galatasaray in Turkey, we have to find the same belief." Refering to his side's 1-1 draw on matchday one. When asked about Arsenal's injury problems he said: "It will be a mistake to think Arsenal are weaker without a few top players."

6:00. These two haven't met in European competition since the famous 1970 Fairs Cup final, when Arsenal won 3-0 in the second leg at Highbury.
5:55. Anderlecht have, as expected, struggled so far in the Champions League. They would have been hopeful after the first game, however, when they took a point from a daunting trip to Istanbul. This hope was enstinguished though as Dortmund brushed them aside 3-0 on their own patch when the German side themselves have been in poor form.
5:51. Two very different nights for Arsenal in the Champions League so far this season. To start the campaign they headed to the very intimadating Signal Iduna Park and were comprehensively outplayed by Borussia Dortmund, who have been poor this season. However, they followed up arguablly their most dissapointing night this season with their best by far as they thrashed Galatasaray 4-1 at the Emirates with Danny Welbeck getting a hat trick.
5:48. The two sides have had contrasting starts to their European campaigns with Anderlecht picking up one point from two games. While Arsenal won their second match following an opening game defeat.
