Arsenal headed into the match seeking to boost their chances of earning an automatic qualifying berth in the last-16 of the competition.

The results saw the Gunners occupy a top eight spot in the league, which would be enough for direct entry through to the next stage of the competition.
Victory over the Croatian champions would help Arsenal avoid dropping into the play-off positions.
Zagreb are outside the play-off positions at this stage, but still could secure a spot with positive results in their remaining fixtures.
