The Independent previews Arsenal's Champions League tie against Anderlecht, with the Gunners hoping that victory can ensure their progress through to the next round.

Theo Walcott could make his first start for 10 months and Arsène Wenger revealed in his pre-match press conference that the club have started to talk to the player about a new deal.

Arsenal are for their third Champions League win in a row. After being brushed aside by an emphatic Borussia Dortmund in the first game, Arsenal have since gone on to register back to back wins.

Wenger’s men also come into the game with back to back league wins, in which Alexis Sanchez has scored four.

If the Gunners win on Tuesday and Galatasaray lose, they are guaranteed at least second place.

Anderlecht meanwhile will be seeking revenge. Two weeks ago they led for the best part of 88 minutes before conceding two goals, and subsequently losing the match.
