Arsenal
Arsenal's showdown with Fulham saw Arteta put out his ninth different defence of the Premier League season, a decision he had no choice but to make due to a late injury to Oleksandr Zinchenko, who is also uncertain for the visit of Monaco.

Gabriel Magalhaes and Riccardo Calafiori are in the exact same boat, while Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu will definitely sit this one out due to knee injuries, and Arteta's defensive dilemma could see him bite the bullet and bring one player back in from the cold.

Indeed, Kieran Tierney was selected for Arsenal's Champions League squad and must surely come into the thinking for a place in the starting lineup on Wednesday, although Myles Lewis-Skelly is another option at the back.

Arsenal's crisis has seemingly worsened ahead of the visit of Hutter's team, as neither Jurrien Timber nor Thomas Partey trained on Tuesday, so either Josh Robinson or Josh Nichols could be promoted from the Under-21s to start at right-back.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Raya; Robinson, Saliba, Kiwior, Tierney; Odegaard, Rice, Merino; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli

AS Monaco
Monaco will also be working around a diminished defence for Wednesday's game, albeit for different reasons, as Singo serves a ban following his red card and Christian Mawissa is also suspended for a totting-up of bookings.

Hutter will therefore have no choice but to introduce Mohammed Salisu alongside Thilo Kehrer in the centre of the backline, while further up the field, Folarin Balogun will be denied a reunion against his former side due to a shoulder injury.

The Monaco ranks are further ravaged by the absences of Denis Zakaria (unspecified), Krepin Diatta (muscle) and Edan Diop (foot), but the visitors have a 19-year-old gem in their ranks by the name of Eliesse Ben Seghir, who could become just the second teenager to score in back-to-back Champions League games for Les Monegasques after Kylian Mbappe.
Monaco possible starting lineup:
Majecki; Vanderson, Salisu, Kehrer, Henrique; Matazo, Camara; Akliouche, Ben Seghir, Golovin; Embolo
Prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Monaco
