Arsenal Predicted Lineup vs. AS Monaco: Champions League | OneFootball

Arsenal takes on AS Monaco in the Champions League looking to improve its case for a top eight seed avoiding the first round of the knockout stage.

The Gunners come into the tie after a disappointing draw against Fulham in the Premier League. Though, in Europe, Arsenal put five goals past Sporting CP last time out. Mikel Arteta faces an injury crisis, primarily in defense with the potential for former starter Kieran Tierney to be involved in some capacity. Still, a less than ideal situation for the Gunners who could be without Gabriel and Riccardo Calafiori.

A win would put Arsenal on 13 points through six games, dropping points against Serie A's Inter Milan and Atalanta. The team has conceded just two goals in the league phase, showing more defensive resiliency and solidity compared to domestic performances.
