Arsenal take on Besiktas in the second leg of their crunch Champions League qualifier at Emirates Stadium tonight, after drawing 0-0 last week in Istanbul.
The Gunners are without the injured Olivier Giroud and Mikel Arteta, and the suspended Aaron Ramsey for the game, and struggled in the first leg against the Turkish side.
With around £25 million at stake for the winners of tonight’s encounter, it could be a tense affair in north London if Arsenal don’t get an early lead.
Elsewhere, there’s London interest in the Capital One Cup, with both Queens Park Rangers and Leyton Orient in action.
Rangers travel to League Two outfit Burton Albion, where they will look to recover from Sunday’s disappointing 4-0 defeat to Tottenham.
Leyton Orient are away at Aston Villa, and after making a stuttering start to the League One season, could kick-start their campaign with an unlikely victory tonight.
The likes of Stoke, Sunderland, Bradford and Leeds are also playing in the Capital One Cup this evening.
