Champions League Permutations - How Each Team Can Qualify

Shalke and Arsenal have qualified for the knock out stages of the competition, but Arsenal must better Shalkes result tonight to finish as Group Winners. The Gunners are second on 10 points - one behind Shalke - and have a tricky trip to third placed Olympiakos to contend with tonight. If they beat the Greek side, and Shalke fail to win against bottom side Montpellier, then Arsene Wengers men will finish top. Shalke however will be confident of seeing off a side who have accrued just one point in qualifying. Olympiakos are through to the Europa League, and have five more points than Montpellier, meaning defeat to Arsenal tonight wouldn't be terminal.
