Gunners looking to follow up big win over Sporting

Arsenal vs Monaco – LIVE!

Arsenal host Monaco in the Champions League later today. The Gunners got back to winning ways in Europe last time out by thrashing Sporting 5-1 and could take another big step towards automatic qualification if they can claim a positive result against the French side at home.

Mikel Arteta’s side, however, will need to improve from Sunday’s display at Fulham. While set-pieces remain a profitable avenue for the Gunners, questions about their ability to create chances from open play refuse to go away. If they can click back into gear on that front, Arsenal will be a force to be reckoned with for any team in Europe.

Monaco are level on points with the north London giants, despite losing to Benfica last time out. In fine form domestically, they head to the English capital in confidence. Follow all the action LIVE with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog!
