Arsenal are still top of the Champions League table, and likely to remain there, but the fight for a bye to the round of 16 is shaping up to be fierce.

Arsenal were once again wasteful with their scoring chances but managed to eek out a 2-1 victory over Brighton at Emirates Stadium on Saturday, to send themselves back to the top of the Premier League table.

Arsenal are enjoying their best season in 22 years under Mikel Arteta, having established a seven-point lead at the Premier League summit while also winning all of their seven Champions League fixtures to top the league phase table.
