Arsenal are ready for what is set to be a highly-charged Champions League encounter against Partizan Belgrade in Serbia.

An audacious attempt from Cleo drifts harmlessly wide of Fabianski's far post.

Sagna and Chamakh combine but the full-back's swinger with his left foot from 20 yards rolls wide.

Cleo sends Ilic clear but the Brazil-born striker can't control the return ball 12 yards out.

Arshavin challenges for the ball with Ivan Stevanovic.

Gibbs pops up in the penalty area but the through ball gets stuck under his feet and the chance is lost.

Partizan have drawn all three of their Champions League home matches. An omen perhaps.

Stojkovic gets down low to his right to save from Rosicky.

No changes to either side as the second-half gets underway.

A lung busting run down the left from Arshavin but he can't find a team-mate with his cross and that is the last action of the opening period.

Arsene Wenger’s side’s 6-0 win was the biggest ever victory in the opening match of a Champions League group stage but no walk in the park tonight.

Boya clips the ball across the face of goal but it is beyond Ilic.

Jovanovic gets a final warning after the latest in a series of infingements.

Krstajic played for Serbia in a World Cup qualifier against a France side including Bacary Sagna and Gael Clichy in Paris in 2008.

Krstajic's free-kick is way over the crossbar.

Partizan not really going anywhere but Djourou dives in to gift them a free-kick they can put into the danger zone.

Arshavin tries to find the top corner but Stojkovic comfortably punches clear.

Ivan Stevanovic blocks off Arshavin and another Arsenal free-kick in a dangerous area.

Chamakh has scored in each of his last four Champions League matches, including three last season for Bordeaux. He has scored six in his last seven games.

Wilshere's cross is just behind Chamakh at the back post who tries to knock the ball into the path of a midfielder rather trying to twist his neck muscles and get an attempt on goal.

Arsenal have lost their last three Champions League away games and need to respond to that setback in a positive fashion.

Replays suggest the ball struck a combination of chest and bottom of the arm. The cross travelled a long distance, the Brazilian surely should have done more to get his arm out of the way.
