Line-ups revealed as the Gunners search for a safe passage into the Champions League

Arsenal can move a step closer to securing qualification to the next stage of the Champions League with victory over Monaco tonight.

The Gunners stumbled in their last Premier League outing against Fulham, but they have a good record in Europe.

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

They both have 10 points, meaning a win is crucial in either dugout to boost their chances heading into the final two matches.

Read on to see how the two teams line up.

With Mikel Arteta having no fit defenders, it is all about attacking the home side.

David Raya retains his place in goal, with Miles Lewis Skelly, Jacob Keiyur, William Saliba and Thomas Partey in defence.

Declan Rice collaborates with Mikel Merino and Martin Odegaard in midfield.

Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli occupy the wings.

And Gabriel Jesus is in the lead.

Monaco and head coach Adolf Hütter have been equally aggressive in their squad.

Radoslav Majicki is in goal, with Van Anderson, Mohammed Salisu, Thilo Kehrer and Caio Henrique in defence.

There is a defensive pivot made up of Songoto Magassa and Lamine Kamara up front.

Then comes the trio of Magnes Akliush on the right, Alexander Golovin in the middle and Ilisse Ben Saghir on the left.

And Brill Embolo leads the line.
