The French Fancy A Clean Sheet

Arsenal fans who were thanking their lucky stars after the draw for the last 16 of the Champions League was made, may find themselves having a re-think at some point on Wednesday evening.

The Gunners were a long way from their fluid best despite winning 2-1 at Selhurst Park at the weekend and a similar attacking performance against Monaco could see them draw a surprise blank.

The French outfit can proudly boast the best defence from the group stages having only conceded once in six matches - a late strike in Benfica. Apart from that, there were clean sheets twice each against Zenit and Leverkusen and in the home match against the Portuguese.

Furthermore, none of Monaco’s last eight matches in Ligue One have produced more than one goal in total. All things considered the prospect of ‘no goalscorer’ at the Emirates is much better than the 10/1 we can get with Coral implies.
