If they can put in a similar performance this time out, then Arsene Wenger’s men should have enough to come out on top on Wednesday. Wenger knows that a win would put his side in a superb position to reach the knockout stages, and three points will be expected.
Players such as Theo Walcott, Lukas Podolski and Santi Cazorla are sure to play a big part in this one with their fire-power going forward.
Also, Oliver Giroud will be going up against his former employers who he has so much success with last season – so this game will mean a lot to him.
The striker looks to finally be finding his feet in the Premiership and seems to be forming a partnership and linking up well with Theo Walcott, and with the guile of Santi Cazorla and Jack Wilshire in midfield the Gunners suddenly look potent threat going forward.
The Frenchman is attracting plenty of money at 4/1 to find the net first.
As for Montpellier, they have not looked anywhere near as good as they were last term and have only managed to accumulate one point in the Champions League so far.
They also sit 14th in Ligue 1 at the moment, so are a long way off defending the title they one so impressively last season.
Much the pressure has fallen on the shoulders of the front two Younes Belhanda and Souleymane Camara, and the side is clearly missing the goals of the departed Giroud.
This will be one of the biggest matches they have played in a while though and Rene Girard’s team can come to London with the pressure somewhat off as nothing will be expected of them.
With no win in four matches though, Montpellier do not come into this one in any sort of form and have a job on their hands to keep Arsenal at bay.
Their odds of 10/1 on the away win do not pull any punches and are sure to be avoided.
There is plenty at stake in this one, especially for the home side and it all gets underway at 7.45PM at the Emirates on Wednesday night.
