Arsenal will be grateful for the opportunity of erasing Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Tottenham against a side they scored six past without reply on the opening night of the Champions League campaign.
Arsene Wenger's men let slip a two goal lead against arch rivals Spurs at the weekend and will be hoping to bounce back in style against Sporting Braga.
The Portuguese outfit may have been hit for six by Arsenal at the Emirates, but after their disastrous opening to their debut season in Europe's premier club competition they have shown character to recover after back to back wins against Partizan Belgrade.
Arsenal sit top of Group H but after defeat against Shakhtar in the Ukraine, the competition for the top two places has opened up.
Braga currently sit third on six points while Arsenal and Shakhtar are above them on nine points.
A famous win for Domingos Paciencia's men will blow this group wide open and the Gunners could struggle to qualify from a group which looked straight forward on paper.
But a side boasting the talents of Samir Nasri, Cesc Fabregas and Robin van Persie will feel confident heading to the Estadio Municipal de Braga for the first time in their history after Braga lost their last game 2-1 Victoria Guimaraes.
The north London side will attempt to follow in the footsteps of their neighbours Spurs who won 3-2 at the same stadium back in 2006 during their Uefa Cup campaign.
But with both sides coming into this game on the back of defeats and three points so vital in the race to the knockout stages, Arsene Wenger's side could be in for a harder night's work than in the corresponding fixture.
Champions League record beckons
Arsenal could break the record for the number of goals scored in the Champions League group stage. They have scored 15 goals in four group games so far and need another six to break Manchester United's record.
The Red Devils scored 20 goals during the first six matches of the 1998-99 campaign and went on to win the competition, along with the Premier League title and the FA Cup. After scoring six past the same opposition on the opening night of the campaign they will be hoping to get closer to the 12 year record.
