Arsenal and Monaco sit 10th and 11th respectively in the 36-team league phase of the new-look UEFA Champions League, so have already put themselves in a strong position to be one of the top 24 teams who'll survive the first cull. A win, however, would mean a strong shout at being one of the top eight teams who progress directly through to the last 16, which, in a world of congested fixture-lists, would be a significant advantage.
Arsenal have had a mixed season so far. They looked to have emerged from their rocky patch with a run of four straight wins in all competitions but come into this tie having dropped points at Fulham in the Premier League.
Monaco sit third in the French league but have had a strong start in the Champions League, including a win over Spanish giants Barcelona. A win for either side would take them into the top five or six - depending on goal difference - after six of the eight match weeks.

How to watch Arsenal vs Monaco from anywhere
What if you're away from home for the game, and your usual streaming service is geo-restricted? Well, there is a neat solution. A VPN - or Virtual Private Network - is a piece of software that sets your IP address to make your device appear to be in any country in the world.
Provided it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, you can use a VPN to unblock the streaming services you subscribe to, and it also comes with added internet security benefits.
FourFourTwo’s colleagues TechRadar are experts in this field, and they reckon NordVPN is the best VPN provider on the market.
