The Gunners still have everything to play for...

Arsenal kept their hopes of progressing to the Champions League knockout stages alive after they won 3-0 at Emirates Stadium and Bayern Munich beat Olympiakos 4-0. It means Arsenal and Olympiakos will battle it out for qualification from Group F when they meet in Greece on December 9.

Arsenal need to win by a two-goal margin in their final match...

Arsenal will go through if they beat Olympiakos by two clear goals in their final group game. Arsene Wenger's side will also progress to the last 16 if they win 3-2 in Greece because they have a better goal difference than Olympiakos.

Arsenal's opposition were ultimately poor...​

Dinamo Zagreb really aren't that good. They beat Arsenal in Croatia but this game emphasised how bad the Gunners were on that night. Zagreb, who can no longer qualify for the knockout stage, were awful and Arsenal cruised to an easy win.

Mathieu Flamini could be Arsenal's saviour...

The midfielder could be the man to fill Francis Coquelin's boots. Coquelin has been ruled out for two to four months with a knee injury and his absence is a big blow for Arsenal. Flamini slotted in alongside Santi Cazorla in midfield against Zagreb and he could play a crucial role over the coming months.

Wenger now has more options despite an injury crisis at the club...

Aaron Ramsey is back from injury to boost Arsenal's midfield options. Ramsey has been out for a month with hamstring injury but he came off the bench in the second half and his introduction was a welcome sight for Arsenal fans. He got 25 minutes under his belt ahead of Sunday's Premier League game at Norwich.
