It is tough to predict what kind of game we will see tonight because at this stage of the season sides are still trying to find their feet at home and abroad. I expect Montpellier to try and play and they will want to get something on the board being at home. Arsenal will not want to start their campaign with a defeat. I expect it to be a tight game but Montpellier will know that Arsenal always play and come at you. It has been a good start to the season from Arsenal and in the last couple of games they have been able to get their passing game going. Saturday's performance against Southampton was very nice to see and I think the side is building again slowly. There are a few new faces and they have managed to settle in quite nicely. I think we will go there and win 1-0 tonight.

Arsenal travel to Montpellier without the injured Wojciech Szczesny, but I do not expect the introduction of Vito Mannone to be the only change to the line-up. The likes of Andre Santos, Laurent Koscielny, Aaron Ramsey, Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud will all hope to be afforded a start as Arsène rotates his line-up ahead of Sunday's clash with Man City. Should Giroud get the nod, the spotlight will once again be on Arsenal's Frenchman. It seems absurd that he's under pressure to score so early in his Arsenal career, until one hears him interviewed: the pressure clearly comes as much from his own expectations as from external sources. This would be a perfect night for him to break his Arsenal duck. As for Montpellier, their poor start to the domestic season should not cloud the fact that, bar Giroud, this is the team that beat PSG to the French title. The greatest danger to Arsenal is that they take their opposition lightly. However, if we have the same degree of focus we showed at Liverpool and Southampton, then victory is within our grasp.
