Match day is here, and with it Arsenal's best chance to ensure that qualification for the last 16 is in their hands. Win today, and a Schalke win, and Arsenal can send the youth squad to Greece in two weeks. Draw or lose today, and Arsenal go to Greece knowing they have to get a win to qualify - never an easy feat at a Greek ground.

Not much more to be said about today, honestly; here's hoping Arsenal can keep the form they showed on Saturday going, get the three points, and keep their destiny in their own hands.

ARSENAL: Szczesny; Vermaelen, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Sagna; Podolski, Cazorla, Arteta, Wilshere, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Giroud. SUBSTITUTES: Mannone, Jenkinson, Gibbs, Ramsey, Coquelin, Arshavin, Gervinho.
