Arsenal aims to secure Champions League knockout stage progression by avoiding playoffs with a point against Inter. Real Madrid, under new interim coach Alvaro Arbeloa, faces a struggling Monaco. Other notable matches include Copenhagen v Napoli, Olympiakos v Bayer Leverkusen, Sporting v PSG, Tottenham v Borussia Dortmund, and Villarreal v Ajax.

Preamble Arsenal are top of the table and a point tonight would guarantee progression to the knockout stages, without requiring the irritation of the playoff round, which should be motivation enough. This is the business end of the season for a side that leads at home and in Europe. They have won all six of their Champions League games thus far to put them three points clear and they will be eager to maintain this form until the end of the first round. On the continent, it is a big night for Alvaro Arbeloa, who takes charge of Real Madrid in the Champions League for the first time. The prospect of a visiting Monaco side does not provide the fear of years gone by because they are in a slump, having lost seven of their past eight Ligue 1 games. Then again, Arbeloa has already suffered one shock in his short reign. Here are the 8pm (GMT) kick-offs in the Champions League tonight Copenhagen v Napoli Inter v Arsenal Olympiakos v Bayer Leverkusen Real Madrid v Monaco Sporting v PSG Tottenham v Borussia Dortmund Villarreal v Ajax
