Adolf Hütter has placed a lot of faith in sparky youngsters Eliesse Ben Seghir and Maghnes Akliouche, but he's reaping the rewards. Monaco are competing on all fronts, while playing in a manner that most Arsenal fans would probably remember fondly. To adapt the famous old Stoke idiom, however, can they do it on a cold Wednesday night at the Emirates?
Having seen Monaco concede twice from corners in the 3-2 defeat to Benfica two weeks ago, Mikel Arteta and Nicolas Jover will be licking their lips. Excluding penalties, Arsenal have scored nine goals from set-pieces this season, while crosses have been used to brutal effect in open play. In their 5-1 thrashing of Sporting Lisbon, two goals game from crosses, another from a corner, and another from the penalty spot.
Breel Embolo might, however, take some pointers from Viktor Gyökeres, who at times bullied the Arsenal backline. The Swiss international isn't prolific at club level, but he's in the same mould as the Lisbon forward, and tends to save his best for the big stage.
Tune in to the Arsenal vs Monaco live stream on one of the services below, and make sure you don’t miss any of the UCL action with our how to watch Champions League live streams guide.
