​Monaco boss: set-pieces are Arsenal's real weapon, we must defend well

Ahead of the match against Arsenal in the 6th round of the Champions League stage, Monaco boss Eddy Hütter talked about some of his opponents.

On Arsenal
-They are very good at positional play, that's their real weapon, that's obvious. They train a lot for it, but we know how to defend in those phases. Obviously it's going to be a very important game for us, but we've come to London to show our style and it's going to be difficult to play against us. We'll be on the lookout for the chances they leave us with, even if it's just the slightest. Not only do we want to be a great opponent, but we also want to bring something back.

On set pieces
-We're bound to prepare for this game more than a classic Ligue 1 game because Arsenal are a top team. We can also be a threat to them in this area as we are also very efficient. In any case, tomorrow we will have to defend brilliantly, be very attentive and not make stupid mistakes, such as giving them chances at set-pieces. But I want to emphasize that we know exactly what we want to do and we will try to achieve our goals.

Goaloo Match Prediction
The last time Arsenal and Monaco met was back in the 2015 Champions League knockout stage, when Arsenal won one and lost one, knocking Monaco out of the competition on goal difference. Although Monaco's form has been quite good this season, there is undeniably a gap between Monaco and Arsenal. Moreover, under the premise of pursuing offensive soccer, Arsenal players' individual ability is definitely stronger than Monaco's. Arsenal's offensive combing has been restored to its normal level after Edeko's injury, so if Monaco is still to take the initiative to attack, Arsenal will surely be able to get more offensive opportunities, and I believe that the probability of Arsenal being able to rely on the stronger attacking firepower is still easy to snatch three valuable points on Monaco. I believe that Arsenal is likely to be able to use its stronger offensive firepower to easily snatch three valuable points from Monaco in this game.
