The Premier League leaders are currently the best team in the UCL league format, having won all seven games.
They are currently top of the league table, with 21 point and three points above Bayern Munich in second place.
They are looking to set a new record of winning all eight games in the Champions League with only two goals conceded.
With the Gunners already secured an automatic qualification to the round of 16, Arteta will likely make some rotations for the game.
