Arsenal vs Lens LIVE SCORE: Latest Champions League updates as Gunners eye sealing Last 16 spot

Team news

Well, there isn't any yet. But I've got my finger on the button and we're on tenterhooks. More exciting than Squid Game: The Challenge, right? Maybe not.

Vamos

And it could well be the goal that secures Arsenal safe passage to the knockout stages. Could be handy for a pub quiz that.

Latest

Yes, as mentioned Sevilla are leading 1-0 against PSV. That's great news for Arsenal.

In the other game, Manchester United are currently winning 2-1 against Galatasaray over in Istanbul. It's a bit of a bonkers game in all honesty -- just slugging it out like two knackered heavyweight boxers.

Who's qualified?

A bumper 10 sides have qualified for the Champions League Round of 16 with a match or two to spare. They are;

• Bayern Munich
• Real Madrid
• Real Sociedad
• Inter Milan
• Atletico Madrid
• Lazio
• Borussia Dortmund
• Manchester City
• RB Leipzig
• Barcelona

Some pretty formidable opponents in there, and perhaps a couple of surprises including Real Sociedad, who actually qualified with two matches remaining.

90/1 if you fancy them to win the whole thing FYI. Just sayin'...

But…

There's always a but.

I should obviously mention that Arsenal could qualify before kick-off if Sevilla beat PSV Eindhoven in the early game.

And that match? Well it's currently 1-0 to Sevilla courtesy of a Sergio Ramos goal. Still the second half to play in that one at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium.

Welcome

Hello folks and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Arsenal vs Lens from the Emirates Stadium.

It's a very simple equation for Arsenal tonight, one that even my 'C' in GCSE Maths is capable of solving.

Arsenal simply have to avoid defeat.

A win or a draw will see them qualify for the knockout stages of the competition, and thus join the other 10 sides who've already booked their place in the Round of 16.

Defeat? Well I'll go over that UNTHINKABLE eventuality a little bit later.

That all-important team news will be arriving shortly.
