Arsenal will face Monaco in their next league phase fixture.
Arsenal have received a significant boost ahead of their next UEFA Champions League fixture against Monaco. The suspensions of two important Monaco players have undoubtedly swung the odds in Arsenal’s favor as the Gunners prepare to host the French team at the Emirates Stadium on December 11, 2024.
Monaco will be without their first-choice center-back Wilfried Singo, who received a red card in their recent match against Benfica, resulting in a one-match suspension. Additionally, Christian Mawissa, who picked up his third booking of the league phase, will also be missing from the lineup. These suspensions are a significant blow to Monaco, as Singo has been a regular in both the Champions League and Ligue one this season.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are riding high on confidence after their impressive 5-1 victory over Sporting CP in their last Champions League match. The win has placed them comfortably in the top eight, setting them up for a direct qualification to the last 16 if they maintain their form.
The Gunners’ attacking trio of Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, and Bukayo Saka were all on the scoresheet in the match against Sporting, showcasing their lethal form. The return of Martin Odegaard from injury has also been a game-changer, with his partnership with Saka proving to be one of the most formidable in Europe right now.
With the suspensions to key Monaco players and Arsenal’s current form, the stage is set for an exciting clash at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners will be looking to capitalize on this advantage and secure a crucial win to solidify their position in the Champions League.
