Basle touched down in London on Tuesday afternoon and certainly looked the part ahead of their Champions League clash against Arsenal.

The RotBlau could only draw at home to Ludogorets on matchday one, which leaves Group A wide open after the Gunners shared the spoils with Paris Saint-Germain.

However, Urs Fischer's men are in fine domestic form having won all of their nine games in the Swiss Super League this season, leaving them 13 points clear of BSC Young Boys in second.

Despite Arsenal heading into the match as clear favourites, Basle have an impressive record against English sides.
