Anyone peering out at the tarmac at London City airport on Tuesday afternoon was left in no doubt about which Bundesliga side had arrived in the capital when Borussia Dortmund touched down.

Jurgen Klopp's men, who face Arsenal in the Champions League on Wednesday night, flew in on a personalised plane featuring the club's famous black and yellow colours.

The Turkish Airlines Boeing 737-800, which was designed as part of the club's partnership with the popular airline, has a Dortmund design from the wings to the tail.

The aircraft, which also features a large Dortmund badge, lit up the runway in East London as Dortmund's players stepped off ahead of their clash with the Gunners.

Dortmund first used the plane to fly to London for the Champions League final against Bayern Munich in May, 2013.

After leaving the airport the German outfit jumped on a coach to the Landmark Hotel in London before travelling to the Emirates to train.

Dortmund have already qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League, having won each of their four fixtures so far and conceded just one goal.

The Bundesliga side need just a point against Arsene Wenger's men to guarantee top spot in Group D, although they would still go through as winners if they lose and the Gunners fail to beat Galatasaray in their final game. 

Klopp will be without influential midfielder Marco Reus on Wednesday after the Germany international tore ankle ligaments in last weekend's 2-2 draw with Paderborn.
