Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger warned there can be no room for
complacency against Champions League Group B whipping-boys Montpellier
at Emirates Stadium tomorrow night.
The Gunners head into the European clash against the French club
boosted by Saturday's 5-2 trashing of north London rivals Tottenham.
Montpellier, meanwhile, are without a win in their last four matches,
and have no chance of making the last 16, bottom of the group with just
one point.
Victory for Arsenal, coupled with a home win for Schalke against Olympiacos, would see them qualified ahead of Matchday Six.
"Not for a second would I think the team will be complacent tomorrow -
they will be full of desire to do well and win the game, I am certain
of that," Wenger said.
"It is important on the back of the Tottenham game we show another
good performance and a resolute attitude, that is at stake for me
tomorrow. After, if we produce the quality performance, we will win the
game.
"We do it step by step. First of all we want to qualify, then try to top the group, so let us just win the game tomorrow."
Wenger added: "Montpellier had a slow start to the season, but they
have rediscovered their balance over the last few months and they played
very well against Paris St Germain.
"It should be an open game because a draw is not good for either side."
