The team has also maintained its play without leading Champions League scorer, Gabriel Jesus, as Arsenal have scored 14 goals in three games without him.
Green is also aware that Porto have firepower as Galeno and Evanilson each scored four goals in group play, as part of the 15 total goals that Porto netted. The Portuguese side also is strong at home, going 8-2-1 in 11 games in its domestic league.
