Arsenal return to Champions League action tonight, hosting Monaco in a crucial tie at the Emirates Stadium. Both teams are level on points in the league phase standings, with a victory offering a significant step towards securing automatic qualification for the last 16.
High Stakes in North London
Arsenal’s European campaign has been marked by moments of brilliance, notably a commanding 5-1 win over Sporting Lisbon two weeks ago. That performance underscored their potential to excel both domestically and on the continent. However, Mikel Arteta’s squad face renewed challenges following a frustrating Premier League draw at Fulham and a mounting defensive injury list.

Monaco arrive in north London buoyed by their Ligue 1 form, having secured four consecutive league wins to climb to third in the table. Adi Hütter’s side are five points behind leaders PSG but have proven their resilience, even in a narrow defeat to Benfica last month when reduced to 10 men.
