Football: Arsenal look for momentum in Europe

PARIS: Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal can confirm their recent resurgence by reaching the Champions League last-16 with victory at home to Marseille tonight. Meanwhile, Chelsea will bid to turn the page on a damaging week with a win at Genk in Group E, which should be enough to see the 2008 finalists into the next round. In Group H, top two AC Milan and Barcelona will look to maintain their winning momentum ahead of the November 23 meeting between the sides at San Siro that is likely to decide who tops the group. AC Milan visit BATE Borisov while Barcelona are away at Czech champions Viktoria Plzen.
