AS Monaco were supposed to be the easiest draw Arsenal could have been handed in the Champions League Round of 16, but they got a rude awakening in the first leg of this tie. The Ligue 1 side were clinical on the counter, while the Gunners struggled going forward, and now Arsene Wenger’s side are big underdogs.

Can the Gunners mount a massive comeback?

Because of Monaco’s 3-1 win in the first leg, Arsenal have to score three or more times to go through. A 3-0 win pushes them into the quarterfinals, while any two-goal win where they score four or more goals accomplishes the same.
This will be tough -- Monaco are one of the best defensive sides in Europe. And defensive leader Jeremy Toulalan, who was out for the first leg, is likely to be available to play in this match, giving Leonardo Jardim even more options to set up his team to hold a two-goal lead.
Arsenal's injury list is getting shorter, but it's not clear yet, because when is it ever? Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Mikel Arteta, Abou Diaby and Mathieu Debucy are all out, while Jack Wilshere is unlikely to play and Gabriel and Tomas Rosicky are slight doubts. Andrea Raggi, Tiémoué Bakayoko and Lacina Traoré are all out for Monaco, while there are doubts about the fitness of Toulalan, Geoffrey Kondogbia and Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco. However, all three of those players are expected to make the 18-man squad.
