After enjoying their 3-0 success against Nottingham Forest, our first-team squad were back in the thick of the action at the Sobha Realty Training Centre as they enjoyed one last training session before heading to Lisbon.
Tuesday sees them head to the home of the reigning Portuguese champions Sporting CP attempting to end their undefeated start to this season's league stage, and move level on points with our opponents at the end of matchday five.
That was the firm focus throughout training today as Mikel Arteta's gameplan was relayed to his players, who hope to return to these shores with the three points they crave.
