WILLIAM SALIBA insists Arsenal have learned from their first-leg defeat by Porto and will be able to handle their "smart" tactics when they meet again in the Champions League tomorrow.
Arsenal, who finished the weekend top of the Premier League after they beat Brentford 2-1 on Saturday before Liverpool and Manchester City drew 1-1 at Anfield yesterday, go into the second leg of their last-16 tie trailing 1-0 after the first leg in Portugal three weeks ago.
Porto capitalised after turning that contest into a scrappy affair which had more fouls than in any other Champions League game this season.
Declan Rice admitted after that game that Arsenal need to be more savvy, while manager Mikel Arteta has urged his players to be street-wise.
