The final round of the UEFA Champions League group stage concludes on Wednesday, December 11. In one of the headline matches, Arsenal hosts Monaco at the Emirates.
Due to a defensive injury crisis, Mikel Arteta has had to resort to some tactical adjustments. One such experiment sees young talent Miles Lewis-Skelly taking the left-back position.
Details. At just 18 years and 76 days old, Lewis-Skelly becomes the youngest Arsenal player to start a Champions League match since Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who was 18 years and 44 days old when he featured against Olympiacos in September 2011.
Recall. Arsenal and Monaco enter this match with identical records, sitting side-by-side in the group standings with 10 points each.
