Lineups revealed as the Gunners look for a safe passage into the Champions League

Arsenal can move a step closer to securing a place in the next phase of the Champions League with a win against Monaco tonight.

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

A run of five defeats puts them in a good position to progress, but the visitors are also chasing a top-eight spot.

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

Read on to see how the two teams line up.

With the lack of defenders in the form of Mikel Arteta, the home side’s attack is everything.

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

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

Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli occupy the sides.

And Gabriel Jesus is in front.

Monaco and head coach Adolf Hutter have been equally aggressive with their formation.

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 up front.

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

And Breel Embolo leads the line.
