Beaten in Croatia on matchday one, Arsenal host Dinamo Zagreb in a Group F fixture they both need to win to stand a chance of reaching the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League.

Arsenal FC and GNK Dinamo Zagreb need to win to stand a chance of reaching the last 16 and even then they require a matchday five defeat for one of the other UEFA Champions League Group F teams to keep their hopes alive.

An Arsenal victory, coupled with an Olympiacos FC defeat at FC Bayern München, would give the north Londoners a chance to finish second – the Gunners visit Olympiacos on 9 December.

• Dinamo need to win and hope Bayern lose at home to Olympiacos to have a chance of overtaking them for second place when they meet in Zagreb on matchday six.

• On matchday one Dinamo ended their 16-year wait for a group stage win with a 2-1 defeat of the Gunners in the Croatian capital. It was also their first success against English opponents at the tenth attempt.

Previous meetings
• Zoran Mamić captained the team when Dinamo were beaten 5-1 on aggregate by Arsenal in the 2006/07 third qualifying round, losing 3-0 at home and 2-1 away.

• The teams in London on 23 August 2006 were:
Arsenal: Almunia, Eboué, K Touré, Djourou, Hoyte, Hleb (Gilberto Silva 70), Fàbregas, Ljungberg, Flamini, Adebayor (Henry 56), Van Persie (Walcott 81).
Dinamo: Turina, Vukojević (Ljubojević 89), Ćorluka, Carlos, Cvitanović, Modrić, Mamić, Etto (Tomić 90), Eduardo, Agić (Buljat 70) Drpić.

Match background

Arsenal
• The Gunners' 18th successive group stage campaign continued on matchday two with another defeat, Olympiacos FC winning 3-2 at the Arsenal Stadium. They recovered their form with a 2-0 home victory over FC Bayern München before succumbing 5-1 away to the five-time champions.

• The victory against Bayern means the Gunners have won six and lost six of their last 13 home games in the competition proper.

• Last term Arsène Wenger's men reached the last 16 for the 15th successive season but were eliminated at that stage for the fifth consecutive campaign. They lost 3-1 at home against AS Monaco FC and won 2-0 away.

• Arsenal also faced HNK Hajduk Split in the 1978/79 UEFA Cup second round, losing 2-1 away but winning 1-0 at home.

Dinamo
• The Zagreb club, back in the UEFA Champions League group stage after an absence of three years, followed the 16 September win by going down 5-0 away to Bayern. They then lost home and away to Olympiacos, 0-1 and 1-2 respectively.

• The Croatian champions have never qualified from the group stage in their four previous attempts – 1998/99, 1999/2000, 2011/12 and 2012/13.

• In fact, in all ten previous UEFA competition group stages – six in the UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup – Dinamo have yet to advance.

• In 2012/13 they lost all three away fixtures without scoring a goal.

• Mamić's men were unbeaten in their six qualifying games this season, recording two wins and a draw away from home.

• Before this season, Dinamo had lost seven and drawn two of their nine fixtures with English opponents.

Coach and player links
• Theo Walcott scored a hat-trick in England's 4-1 victory over Croatia in a 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifier.

• Tomáš Rosický registered for the Czech Republic in a 4-2 defeat by Croatia in a Pula friendly on 9 February 2011.

• Alexis Sánchez and Ángelo Henríquez are team-mates with Chile.

Match facts

Arsenal
• Joel Campbell and Mesut Özil are both a booking away from a ban.

• Olivier Giroud has scored nine goals in his last 11 outings for club and country, his latest effort coming on Saturday in a 2-1 loss at West Bromwich Albion FC. Santi Cazorla missed a late penalty at The Hawthorns.

• Kieran Gibbs' goal in the 1-1 home draw with Tottenham Hotspur FC on 8 November was his first in the Premier League since 24 March 2012.

• Walcott (calf) and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (hamstring) went off injured in Arsenal's 3-0 League Cup loss at Sheffield Wednesday FC on 27 October. Two days later Wenger said the England players will be "out until after the international break" – neither was involved on Saturday.

• Jack Wilshere sustained a hairline fracture to his left fibula in early August. He underwent surgery in September and is not expected to return until January.

• Danny Welbeck had a knee operation on 3 September. The England striker has not played since 26 April.

• Petr Čech earned his 118th cap, equalling Karel Poborský's national record, as the Czech Republic lost 3-1 to Poland on 17 November.

Dinamo
• Josip Pivarić serves a one-game ban for the red card he received on matchday four. Marko Rog will incur a suspension with his next booking.

• Jérémy Taravel equalised, his first Prva Liga goal of the season, as the Blues triumphed 2-1 at NK Slaven Koprivnica on Friday.

• Dinamo have lost five of their last ten fixtures in all competitions, having gone into matchday two 45 unbeaten.

• The capital side have kept only one clean sheet in their last 12 matches (1-0 v NK Istra 1961, 8 November).

Too many injuries (as always).

I feel like smacking Wenger in the head for refusing to buy an outfield player in the summer window, when we have a massive reserve of cash.

Every man and his dog knew Arsenal needed a physical, midfield destroyer as back up for Coquelin. Only Wenger was blind.

He extended ''chocolate legs'' Arteta's contract. And said he was good enough to act as a back up.

Man City floundering, and we can't just simply take advantage and run away with the lead, because we lack squad depth.

It's frustrating!

Gunners!

Okmk

Its a MUST for us to beat Zagreb tonight. It doesn't come down to goal difference, its head to head results, also we need to beat Olympiakos with either 2-0, or 3-1, or 4-2. We also need Bayern Munich to win to night. Can also beat Olympiacos 4-3 in equation as head to head counts as better than 3-2, that would then bring in goal difference I believe.Absolutely any type of win will do tonight. Last minute deflected OG, I don't care. Just a win please. We need the confidence to kick on. A lot of nerves going into tonight hopefully our boys will get the job done tonight and we'll move onto Norwich with a bit more confidence.

So in fairness we need to destroy Zagreb tonight !!!!

Arsenal Fan Go Con Be Like "Oh Lord! Please Let's Win This Match Cos We Don't Wanna Relegate To Europa League! So Help Us God! We'll Forever Be Grateful!

Wenger should just go at the end of the season. He's a big failure, now we're having the usual injuries and his failure to sign players to bolster the squad has has cost us 5 solid point to go top on the table. He'll never change because he's an unrepentant asshole. Up Gunners anyway and I hope we win tonight
