Arsenal play Monaco in the round of 16 of the Champions League campaign at the Emirates Stadium tonight.
Arsenal have failed to qualify from this stage in their last four seasons, but this time it is expected that the Gunners are going to seal their spot in the next round which will be decided in the next leg.
Arsenal must do the following three things in order to win against the French side.
Arsenal full-back should be in control
It has been seen that both the full-backs are more in an advanced position rather than defensive, but in this game it should be controlled as the other side can make the most of it. If one side is on the attacking side then the other should have to stay at the back.
Arsenal should be focusing a win along with a clean sheet, which would only happen if the defensive line attacks wisely.
Give ball to Santi Cazorla
Santi Cazorla has been a vital player for the Gunners for past few months. He should be given the ball more than any other player on the field as he can make the most of it.
Arsenal players should forget Mesut Ozil or even Alexis Sanchez in front of the Spanish midfielder.
It has been seen that Cazorla has proved to be a vital player in big matches, he palyed a fine game against Manchester City few weeks ago.
If Cazorla gets the ball more often then he would be the biggest danger for the Ligue One side.
Arsenal should play with pace
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger should make the full use of wingers. Alexis Sanchez can provide the necessary pace to get past defenders from the wing side.
The Gunners should not hold the ball for a longer time in the wing areas, they should play a simple, smooth and pacey game which would be difficult for Monaco to control.
