Two teams looking to remain in the top eight of the UEFA Champions League will face off on Wednesday night. Here are predictions, team news, betting tips, and possible line-ups for the game.
Arsenal come into this one on the back of a frustrating 1-1 draw with Fulham at Craven Cottage at the weekend in a game in which the Gunners goal came from another set piece, and there has been a lot of focus on their over-reliance on set pieces at the moment.

Monaco are coming off an impressive 2-0 defeat of Toulouse at Stade Louis II, thanks to second-half strikes from Wilfried Singo and Breel Embolo.
The French side lost 3-2 to Benfica in their last UCL game, in a game they played with 10 men for over half an hour.
Both Monaco and Arsenal are tied on 10 points and currently occupy the last two spots in the top eight.
Arsenal vs. Monaco Head to Head
Both teams met for the first time in 2014-15, with Monaco winning the last 16 clash via the away goal rule.
The French side have enjoyed their meetings against English sides, winning five of seven such games while losing two.
However, the Gunners have won their last three home matches in Europe against French teams without conceding a goal.

Arsenal's defensive woes continue, with Oleksandr Zinchenko's availability uncertain after withdrawing from the Fulham match.
Gabriel Magalhaes and Riccardo Calafiori are also doubtful, while Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu remain out with knee injuries.
Monaco also have defensive issues, as Wilfried Singo is suspended and Christian Mawissa is unavailable due to accumulation of yellow cards. Adi Hutter is likely to pair Mohammed Salisu with Thilo Kehrer in central defence.
The visitors' attacking options are also limited, with former Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun ruled out due to a shoulder injury. Krepin Diatta and Edan Diop are also unavailable.
