Arsenal have a lot to look forward to during the beginning of next year. The Gunners were paired with one of the most accessible adversaries in the competition and will have a good chance of being able to go through the next stage of the Champions League. A few good transfers could really improve their chances to advance to a higher stage in the most important competition in European football. According to the Daily Mail, Arsenal’s players are happy to make the trip to Monaco and are confident they will defeat the Frenchmen.

Wenger will have two reasons to be excited about the future confrontation. Not only will the Gunners’ chances be bigger than when facing any other adversary but there is also the fact that Monaco is the Frenchman’s former team. Returning to the place where he started his career as a manager will surely bring back memories and will determine Wenger to put extra concentration into the clash.

Hopefully the Gunners will not take their adversaries for granted and they will go into the double confrontation with all the determination and focus needed to win. It is for the first time in years since the Gunners have a great shot at making it through the next stage and the odds are finally in their favor. With some good transfers and no catastrophic injuries, they could even have a shot at the final where anything could happen. It would be a great year for Arsenal if they manage to win the competition despite the major lot problems they had to face during the season.
