Arsene Wenger's team have so far drawn 1-1 with Borussia Dortmund and defeated Olympiacos 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium in the Champions League this season and will be hoping to at the very least register some more points in France tonight. They travel to Marseille looking to put aside struggles at home, where they are 10th in the Premier League, and will be eager to take over at the top of Champions League Group F. Their opponents Marseille have won their opening games without conceding a goal and are on six points with Arsenal two behind, while Borussia Dortmund have one point, but they are also a side struggling in their domestic league. Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky said:
"It must be our aim to win the group, especially after what happened to us last year when we were not top of the group. In the last three games we messed up. "Marseille are a direct contender for us," Rosicky said. "It's a big game and we want to be successful there."Marseille striker Loic Remy (long signalled out as a Premier League target for a number of clubs) is not reading much into Arsenal's disappointing form in the Premier League. He said:
"We must remain humble in relation to their situation. The Champions League is an entirely different competition and Arsene Wenger's men will have the desire to make amends."
