Vlahovic has had 18 shots on target across his 13 Serie A appearances this season, the 24 year old has returned 6 goals from these efforts in Italy’s top division slightly underperforming his xG of 8.35.

He’s scored 3 goals across his 4 Champions League appearances this season whilst averaging 3.70 shots per 90 and 1.71 shots on target per 90.

Juventus will fancy their chances of causing Manchester City real problems in transition, Pep Guardiola’s side have struggled to contend with fast breaks in the absence of Rodri – something which cost them in their last Champions League game against Feyenoord where they shipped 3 goals to the Dutch side from a seemingly comfortable position. Vlahovic can act as a vocal point and has the ability to get on the end of these quick breaks.

Josko Gvardiol has had a tough time defensively in recent weeks but still remains a threat going the other way. The defender has had 21 shots across his 14 Premier League appearances this season (1.56 per 90). This record places him in the 99th percentile for shots from defenders in the Premier League.

He’s had 2 shots across his 5 Champions League appearances this season (0.49 per 90) which is a record quite below his in the Premier League this campaign but expect this to increase as the season progresses and Manchester City start to find their feet in this competition.

Gvardiol offers a threat from set pieces as most defenders do but he also has the ability and confidence to have a go from distance – 4 of his 21 shots have come from outside the area including a brilliant strike against Wolves. He had 1 effort from outside the box in Manchester City’s 0-0 draw with Inter in the early stages of the Champions League season.

Embolo seems to reserve his best performances for the international stages with Switzerland but the 27 year old has been having a steady season for Monaco with 3 goal contributions across his 5 Champions League appearances whilst averaging 1.35 shots on target per 90.

Arsenal appeared to be moving in the right direction with 4 straight wins against Nottingham Forest, Sporting, West Ham and Manchester United but a 1-1 draw with Fulham has once again raised questions about the creativity and adaptability of Mikel Arteta’s side.

Monaco will have to play in moments if they want to take anything from the Emirates here but still carry an attacking threat as evidenced by the 12 goals they’ve scored across their 5 Champions League games so far, only losing 1 of these games.

A lot has been made of Arsenal’s overreliance on set pieces but there is no doubt they are an effective avenue to goal for Mikel Arteta’s side with Gabriel the main threat from these situations.

He’s had 14 shots across his 13 Premier League appearances this season (1.16 per 90) resulting in 3 goals for the Brazilian. 13 of these efforts have come from inside the box emphasising the threat he poses to opposition sides despite lining up as a centre back.

Gabriel has had 4 shots (0.81 per 90) and scored 1 goal across his 5 Champions League appearances this season. Arsenal should have plenty of set piece situations as the home side to cause Monaco plenty of problems who are battling with suspensions to key players.

Guirassy has been incredibly efficient with his efforts in the Champions League this season, he’s found the target with 9 of his 11 attempts in Europe’s elite competition this season (2.62 per 90).

He’s had at least 1 shot on target in every Champions League game this season scoring 3 goals in the process. He will be a key threat to a Barcelona side who have hit a bit of a rut after an electric start to the season. Hansi Flick’s side have conceded 7 goals across their last 5 games in all competitions.

Guirassy will be eager to add to his 6 goal contributions in the Champions League this season (4 goals, 2 assist). He’s averaging 1.12 shots on target per 90 across his 10 Bundesliga appearances this season so his record is solid both domestically and in Europe.
