02:18Champions League: the winners and losers ahead of Matchday 6
The two sides are currently locked level on points in the league phase standings and a win for either in north London this evening would see them take a big step towards automatic qualification for the last 16.
Arsenal were in scintillating form on their last European outing a fortnight ago, when they made a real statement by demolishing in-form Sporting CP 5-1 in Lisbon as part of a post-international break resurgence both at home and on the continent.
But their latest Premier League title ambitions were dealt another blow in a frustrating draw at Fulham over the weekend, while Mikel Arteta has now been dealing with another defensive injury crisis.
Looking to exploit that is a Monaco team who were bested by Benfica in a thriller after going down to 10 men last month, but have won four successive Ligue 1 games to sit third and only five points adrift of leaders Paris Saint-Germain.
