Arsenal vs Monaco: Line-ups revealed as Gunners seek safe passage in Champions League

Arsenal can go one step closer to securing passage to the next stage of the Champions League with a win against Monaco tonight.

The Gunners stuttered in their most recent Premier League game at Fulham, but have a good record in Europe.

One loss from five games puts them in a good position to progress, but the visitors are also eyeing a spot in the top eight.

Both sit on 10 points, meaning a win is crucial in either dugout for their chances heading into the final two games.

Read on to see how both teams line-up.

With a lack of fit defenders for Mikel Arteta, it is all out attack for the home side.

David Raya retains his place in goal, with Myles Lewis-Skelly, Jakub Kiwior, William Saliba and Thomas Partey at the back.

Declan Rice partners both Mikel Merino and Martin Odegaard in midfield.

Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli occupy the flanks.

And Gabriel Jesus is up front.

Monaco and head coach Adolf Hutter have gone equally aggressive with their line-up.

Radoslaw Majecki is in goal with Vanderson, Mohammed Salisu, Thilo Kehrer and Caio Henrique in defence.

A defensive pivot of Soungoutou Magassa and Lamine Camara are ahead.

Then comes a three of Maghnes Akliouche on the right, Aleksandr Golovin in the middle and Eliesse Ben Seghir on the left.

And Breel Embolo is leading the line.
