Arsenal are hoping to round up their pre-season campaign with a win against Monaco in the Emirates Cup final on Wednesday.
The Gunners have won the tournament six times while Monaco’s third-place finish in 2014 is their best-ever.
Despite finishing one place below Arsenal in the 2014 Emirates Cup, Monaco defeated the Gunners 1-0 that year courtesy of a Radamel Falcao goal.
After losing their first two matches against Monaco on the European stage, Arsenal won their previous such match against them by a 2-0 margin in March 2015.
Arsenal are coming off a morale-boosting 5-3 victory against Barcelona and Monaco lost 1-0 to Genoa in their last outing.
After a scintillating 6-0 victory over Sevilla in the last edition of the tournament, Arsenal are confident of another piece of silverware.
This match is the final one as they prepare to take on treble winners Manchester City in the Community Shield on Sunday.
