Arsenal will be looking to take another significant step towards the Champions League knockout stages as they host AS Monaco.

A thrashing of Sporting CP in their last outing leaves Mikel Arteta’s side strongly placed after five games in the revamped competition.

Monaco are level on points with their hosts, though, and going well in Ligue 1, too, under Adi Hutter.

A 3-2 defeat against Benfica rather checked their momentum in this competition but they will travel to London with confidence of a positive result.

Here’s everything you need to know.

Team news

An injury to Oleksandr Zinchenko ahead of the draw against Fulham caused another defensive headache for Mikel Arteta with Gabriel Magalhaes, Riccardo Calafiori, Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu all also absent. Jurrien Timber shifted across to the left of a back four in the Premier League game and may do so here, though the rarely-sighted Kieran Tierney is in Arsenal’s Champions League squad.

Monaco’s Wilfried Singo is suspended after his sending off against Benfica, while Christian Mawissa also serves a one-match ban having accumulated too many bookings. Ex-Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun misses out with a shoulder injury.

Predicted line-ups

Arsenal XI: Raya; Partey, Saliba, Kiwior, Timber; Odegaard, Rice, Merino; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli.

Monaco XI: Majecki; Vanderson, Salisu, Kehrer, Henrique; Zakaria, Camara; Akliouche, Ben Seghir, Golovin; Embolo.

Odds

Arsenal win 4/13

Draw 5/1

Monaco win 10/1
