Latest Arsenal vs Monaco squad information
Arsenal's clash with Fulham will force Mikel Arteta to field his ninth defence of the season, with Oleksandr Zinchenko suffering a last-minute injury and doubtful of being fit for the Monaco game. Gabriel Magalhaes and Riccardo Calafiori are also out, while Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu are all but certain to miss out through injury. Arteta could consider deploying Kieran Tierney, which would allow Jurrien Timber to return to right-back and push Thomas Partey into midfield.
Monaco also have defensive problems with Singo suspended and Christian Mawissa absent through suspension. Coach Adolf Hutter may have to use Mohammed Salisu to partner Thilo Kehrer. Up front, Monaco are without Folarin Balogun (shoulder injury), Krepin Diatta (muscle injury) and Edan Diop (foot injury). However, the visitors still have young talent Eliesse Ben Seghir, who has the chance to become only the second teenager to score in two consecutive Champions League games for Monaco, after Kylian Mbappe.
Latest expected lineup for Arsenal vs Monaco

Latest football commentary on Arsenal vs Monaco
Arsenal and Sporting Lisbon met at the Estadio Jose Alvalade in the fifth round of the Champions League, ending in a 5-1 win for the North Londoners, with only one goal coming from the hosts. The absence of Ruben Amorim meant Sporting Lisbon could not stand up to Arsenal's might, helping Mikel Arteta's side climb into the top eight of the table.
Arsenal have beaten Shakhtar Donetsk and Paris Saint-Germain at home this season. Only Barcelona and Bayern Munich have won more home games than Arsenal. Arteta's side have also scored in their last 11 home Champions League games and have four clean sheets in their last six.
However, Arsenal struggled away from home in a 1-1 draw with Fulham in the Premier League, a result that could leave them nine points behind leaders Liverpool if they win.
Monaco also have 10 points from five games, but are behind Arsenal on goal difference. They lost 3-2 to Benfica in their previous game, despite leading twice through Zeki Amdouni. However, Wilfried Singo made amends in a 2-0 win at Toulouse last weekend. Monaco are five points behind PSG and level with Marseille in Ligue 1, and are looking to win away from home in the Champions League for the first time since 2014-15.
The last time Monaco won two consecutive away games in the Champions League, the second was against Arsenal, when they won 3-1 at the Emirates and eliminated Wenger's side on away goals.
