In-form Monaco ready for Arsenal

London - Monaco go into the last 16 tie with a good win behind them, having thumped Bastia 3-0 at home on Friday.

That win left them in fourth place behind Lyon, Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille with 10 games to go until the end of the season.

Portuguese midfielder Joao Moutinho has been instrumental in recent successes and he believes that the Champions League format suits Monaco better than the stuffiness of Ligue 1 play.
