Becoming increasingly familiar foes in European competition, PSV Eindhoven and Arsenal have now met 12 times on the continent, and the English titans hold the bragging rights with five victories compared to just two for the Rood-Witten.
Another five showdowns have ended all square, including a 2-2 stalemate in the second leg of their 2024-25 Champions League last-16 tie, one that was inconsequential thanks to the Gunners' 7-1 first-leg mauling.
The two outfits also played out a 1-1 draw during the group stage of the 2023-24 Champions League, although a comprehensive 4-0 win for Arsenal preceded that dead rubber in Eindhoven.
The 2024-25 Champions League saw Arsenal and PSV lock horns for the third year running, as they were also pitted together in the Europa League group stage in 2022-23, where a 1-0 home win for the Gunners preceded a 2-0 success for the Rood-Witten on their own patch.
Arsenal's first away triumph at PSV came in the clubs' first-ever competitive meeting in September 2002, as Gilberto Silva, Freddie Ljungberg and Thierry Henry (2) were on target in a routine 4-0 victory for Arsene Wenger's team.
However, Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw away to PSV in the 2004-05 group stage before a fatal 1-0 loss in the first leg of their 2006-07 last-16 battle, which preceded another 1-1 stalemate at the Emirates as the Dutch side progressed to the quarter-finals.
The North London giants are also unbeaten in their previous six home clashes with PSV, playing out a goalless draw at Highbury in November 2002 and prevailing 1-0 in September 2004 courtesy of an own goal by Alex.
The ex-Chelsea defender coincidentally turned the ball into his own net yet again in the 2006-07 last-16 second leg, before atoning for his mistake with the equaliser that eliminated Arsenal from the competition.
