• Arsenal vs. Sporting Lisbon will air in the US on Paramount Plus.

An Arsenal team showing signs of running out of steam will look to regain momentum on Wednesday when it hosts Sporting Lisbon in the second leg of this delicately poised UEFA Champions League quarterfinal.

Recent defeats in the FA Cup quarterfinals and the Carabao Cup final mean the Gunners' bid for an unprecedented quadruple is already over. A damaging loss to Bournemouth in the English Premier League on Saturday has raised serious concerns about whether Mikel Arteta's team could end the season empty-handed.

Last week's first leg in Lisbon saw the Gunners claim a smash-and-grab 1-0 victory, courtesy of a strike from substitute Kai Havertz. The Londoners, however, left Estádio José Alvalade with David Raya to thank for the victory, with the goalkeeper making a string of key saves to ensure the win. 

If the Portuguese side puts on a similar show of its own today, the home crowd at the London stadium could feel nervous jitters.

Arsenal takes on Sporting Lisbon at the Emirates Stadium in North London on Wednesday, April 15. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. BST local time in the UK, making it a 9 p.m. CEST kickoff in Europe, a 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT start in the US, and a 5 a.m. AEST kickoff in Australia on Thursday morning.

How to watch UEFA Champions League games with a VPN

If you're traveling abroad and want to keep up with Premier League action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming.

It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds. Additionally, it can be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, providing an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security. 

However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN use to access region-specific content. If you're considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform's terms of service to ensure compliance. 

If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider's installation instructions to ensure you're connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN use is crucial.
