Arsene Wenger believes his Arsenal side will have to continue
their recent improvement if they are to get past Monaco in the last-16
of the Champions League.
The Gunners moved back into the top four of the Premier League on
Saturday with a nervy 2-1 win at Crystal Palace but they quickly have to
turn their attention to European matters.
However Wenger is
confident his squad, with their injury problems mostly behind them, are
up to showing they have what is needed to last the distance on all
fronts.
"The spirit is there and we want to keep that as a very
strong basis, the team has come up a level and we will see that with the
results," said Wenger.
"The last 16 in recent years has been super tough. This is a 50/50
game," said Wenger, who is set to face the club he guided to the 1988
Ligue 1 title in a competitive fixture for the first time.
"We
know that Monaco are very tight defensively. They didn't concede in
the group stage against good teams. Of course it will be tricky, but a
possible tie."
"It is really a 50/50 because Monaco are in a
similar position to us. They came back into a good position in the
league and their confidence level will be high."
