Arsenal dip back into the Champions League in midweek as their penultimate game of the league phase puts them up against Dinamo Zagreb.
The Gunners know that victory puts them within touching distance of earning a top-eight finish in the competition, which would come as a huge boost.
Mikel Arteta will be aiming for a high finish due to the advantage it gives with qualification for the round of 16, skipping two extra matches over the play-off rounds.
Dinamo Zagreb will be looking to better Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium though, having got their own qualification hopes at stake.
One person who will be key to the proceedings is the referee and their match officials, with UEFA already appointing those for the Champions League clash.

Who is the referee for Arsenal vs Dinamo Zagreb?

Daniel Siebert’s Champions League record this season
When it comes to the Champions League league phase, Siebert has been in charge of two matches as the main referee.
The first of those was PSG’s clash with Girona, which ended in dramatic fashion as Les Parisiens scored late to take a 1-0 win.
Since then, he has also officiated in Manchester City’s trip to Sporting CP – which ended in the Cityzens losing 4-1 in Portugal.
Those matches have seen plenty of action, with ten yellow cards dished out across the two clashes, along with three penalty kicks.
