Arsenal advance to Knockout stage of Champions League

Arsene Wenger's side is the only team in the English Premiership to make it to the knockout stage of the competition so far , despite their worse start of the season when they were humiliated by the Red Devils and Liverpool respectively who couldn't qualify to book themselves a seat in the Europe biggest challenge.

There are other worries though as Robin van Persie seem to be the only player for Arsenal who knows where to find the goal post , but Wenger is not too much worried about that as he insist that he does have a back up plan if by any chance van Persie fails to stay injury free though out the season.

Man City who were also the favorite to advance , are finding themselves at the back of the seat after losing to Napoli on Tuesday evening at Stadio San Paolo ( Italy) .The future doesn't look bright for Roberto Manchini's side this season as their last group match is against Bayer Munich who will show no mercy to finish at the top of the group. They depend on Villarreal to deny Napoli an away win , and will have to win over Bayer to stay in a competition .

Andre Villa Boas is also sitting in a non comfortable position . Chelsea and Valencia are both 8pts behind Luverkusen who are comfortable with 9pts on top of the group . They play Valencia on the 06th of Dec at Stamfordridge, of which is a must win match if they want to advance to knockout stage of the competition .
