Add Barca and Atletico with Arsenal for Red Hot Champions League treble

Nine points out of nine from the opening three gameweeks of Champions League action would pretty much ensure progression through the group stages of the competition.

There are four clubs in action in the first batch of matchday three games in the competition, hoping to achieve this points haul and three of them are worth combining as one of Ladbrokes’ special Red Hot Trebles.

Arsenal, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid can all put one foot and four toes into the knockout rounds with victories on matchday three and the Red Hot Treble price for this trio of triumphs is enhanced to 9/2.

The Gunners sit top of the Premier League this season, they have found the net at least once in every outing this campaign and are on an unbeaten run of 12 games in all competitions.

Meanwhile, Dortmund haven’t won away in four games in all competitions, including when going down 2-1 to Napoli earlier in Group F.

Over in Group G, it is Atletico that have started perfectly and visit an Austria Vienna side next that are still looking to score a first group-stage goal.

Atletico’s eight-game win streak may have ended at Espanyol in their last La Liga outing, but normal business should be resumed here, especially if Diego Costa is fit enough to start.

Finally, Barcelona lead the way in Group H and should also be able to win away, against an AC Milan side going through some troubled times at present.

Milan may have won their last three at home without conceding, but their team does look rather ordinary compared to days gone by and Lionel Messi is seemingly fit to start for the visitors.

Meanwhile, patriotic punters fancying the British treble of Arsenal, Celtic beating Ajax and Chelsea winning at Schalke can take advantage of a Red Hot price of 12/1.
