It’s the biggest European match at the Emirates Stadium for several years as the Gunners welcome CSKA Moscow to London for the first leg of a Europa League quarter-final.

It’s a must-win match for Arsenal and for Arsene Wenger with the Europa League now the only realistic chance at success this season.

The two sides haven’t met since 2006. It finished 0-0 on that occasion as the Gunners squandered half a dozen golden opportunities against their opponents.

The Arsenal fans will not want a repeat of that this evening.
