Arsenal will face Porto in the first leg of their round of 16 Champions League tie in the first leg of Europe's elite competition in recent years, with the Gunners under pressure to turn around their wretched start in Europe's top league. Arsenal hasn't been to the knockout stages for seven years, and you'll have to go back to 2010 for the first time Arsenal even won a match in the last 16. And their opponents 14 years ago? Well, that would be Porto.

In a new three-part series, Nicklas Bendtner has shared more of his personal life, attending boozy parties, and how he and his dad fell out with him over money. Following his lucrative loan spell at Birmingham City in the early stages of his career, the centre-forward's salary at Arsenal has also increased from £400-per-week to £10,000-per-week, according to the program. In 2020, the 36-year-old retired from professional football, with the Danish striker's career ending at FC Copenhagen.

CHRIS WHEELER: Rasmus Hojlund's amazing journey began here, in the hushed quiet of a middle-class suburb 15 miles north of Copenhagen. Strolling along Stadionalle, where Hojlund studied at Valerodskolen and first played football at Horsholm Usserod Idraetsklub (HUI) opposite, and little stands out about the cluster of low-set grey buildings on either side of the road. The Hojlund family's home is just a short walk away from here.

Manchester United's ride to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon looks to be one of the season's biggest match clashes. Two of the world's biggest clubs facing off in a potential Premier League title clash - both teams rejuvenated and playing an exciting brand of football under top quality managers - there's nothing quite like it! This is perhaps bizarre, given the fact that both sides of England football have fought each other since 2008, with the first Arsenal vs. Manchester United match in 15 years despite their illustrious pasts and seeming hegemony at the top table.

Lionel Messi has been attached to the word "greatness" for a long time, but it wasn't always like that. Messi has renowned his name for himself after a magical moment, from his first appearances as a long-haired teenager in Barcelona to his age-defying appearance against Croatia in the World Cup semi-finals. The 35-year-old's teammates prepare for his last shot at glory against France on Sunday, but Sportsmail's analysts countdown their top moments from football's greatest genius's reign.

Christian Eriksen has been selected in Denmark's World Cup squad, just over a year after suffering a heart arrest during a Euro 2020 match with Finland. According to FIFA's rules, national teams would have to submit a provisional squad up to a maximum of 55 names by October 21, a week before the tournament's deadline of a final 26-man squad starts. Following the last round of European fixtures this weekend, Denmark has selected an initial 21 of the 26-man squad, with the Scandinavian nation expected to announce the final five names.

The spiky rivalry between Manchester United and Arsenal was unleashed by a mass brawl at Old Trafford in 1990, triggering the first and only ever points deduction for players' bad behavior. Steve Bruce, the former United Captain of the United Kingdom, was one of the 21 people injured in the stormy aftermath after Nigel Winterburn flattened Denis Irwin with a revenge challenge. And although Bruce does not endorse any of the people involved, he believes that the modern game will have a bit more emotion on the pitch and along the touchline, as we saw when Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte clashed in the recent Chelsea-Spurs derby.
