Arsenal vs Milan Champions League Preview

There is a relatively slim chance that today could go down as an Arsenal match to remember but there is a chance, albeit a slim one, that Arsenal could progress against all the odds. After a calamitous first leg at the San Siro, Arsenal were effectively taken apart in a feckless performance against a polished AC Milan side.

Arsenal must keep Milan off the scoresheet and score 5 goals in order to progress to the next stage of the competition. A 4-0 scoreline in favour of Arsenal would prompt extra time but, for a Milan side that doesn't have to attack, Arsenal will have to spend the entire fixture pushing forward in numbers – leaving themselves exposed at the back.

There is literally no margin for error for Arsene Wenger's men but there is still a chance that they can pull off the near impossible. Two quick early goals would likely force Milan's hand and get them onto the back foot at least.

Two key performers for the Italian side in the last fixture will not be lining up in this one as Kevin Prince Boateng and the experienced Clarence Seedorf are both sidelined.

Arsenal could be without Yossi Benayoun and the improving Tomas Rosicky. Mikel Arteta and Abou Diaby both look unlikely to play.

The favourites to win this individual match are Arsenal – trading at an even money price tag with Ladbrokes. Milan are sitting at a lengthy 13/5 for the win while the draw, which does nothing for Arsenal is a 5/2 payout.

How's this for a whopper of a wager – Arsenal to win the fixture 5-0 and Robin Van Persie to score all five goals is listed at an immense 5-0. With the form he's been in over the past few months you simply know a few Gunner fans are going to be dropping a bet on that one.
