Arsene Wenger determined to get Arsenal beyond last 16 of Champions League

Arsene Wenger is aiming to take another step towards guiding Arsenal to the top of their Champions League group when they welcome Basle to the Emirates Stadium tonight.

The Gunners have made it through the group stage for the past 16 years but they have failed to get beyond the round of 16 in the previous six attempts.

One of the problems has been an inability to finish in top spot in their group, leaving them open to face some of Europe’s biggest names.
