Expect Arsene Wenger to enjoy happy return to Monaco

In a week that sees Barcelona in Manchester, Juventus taking on Dortmund and Liverpool’s return to Istanbul, tomorrow night’s match between Monaco and Arsenal might seem like a sideshow, writes David Shonfield.

It’s a welcome relief for Arsenal to be favourites after years of going into the knockout stage as underdogs.

But this is another intriguing tie, not least because it sees Arsene Wenger’s return to the club where he first made his name.
