Gian Piero Gasperini has done a phenomenal job at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d’Italia over the last eight years, and his side have performed brilliantly against the big clubs as well. Just last season, Atalanta beat Liverpool 4-0 across two legs. That included a 3-0 win over Jurgen Klopp’s side at Anfield.

Arsenal wrap up a gruelling week on the road with a third straight away game when they face champions Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday and manager Mikel Arteta said his squad had been preparing for the clash since preseason.

Arsenal kicked off their Champions League campaign by drawing with Atalanta in Italy. The Gunners had David Raya to thank for securing a 0-0 draw, with the goalkeeper making a stunning double save early in the second-half. Raya saved Mateo Retegui’s penalty and then showed remarkable reflexes to keep out the follow-up header, too.
