Beskitas manager Slaven Bilic says that his side are facing Arsenal at just the right time ahead of their Champions League playoff.

Besiktas manager Slaven Bilic has said that he believes now is a good time to play Arsenal.

The Turkish side will take on the Gunners tonight in a Champions League playoff with the match delicately poised after the first leg finished 0-0 in Istanbul last week.

Tonight's tie will be Arsenal's fourth game in less than a fortnight and with Arsene Wenger's side struggling with a number of injuries, Bilic has said that there has never been a better time to face the North London side.

"Arsenal started the season well, but for me this is a good time to play them because it's the beginning of the season, they've played four games in ten days," he told reporters.

"We are definitely not tired. So if there is a time to play them, now is the time."

Tonight's game kicks off at 7.45pm.
