Arsenal vs AZ Alkmaar live stream online Champions League highlights, live football score here. This Dutch Champion side, AZ Alkmaar has a legendary coach, Ronald Koeman and this gives them all but enough confidence to compete against bigger European sides. The attacking line is centered on Mounir Al Hamdaoui. He has apt support in the form of young talent, Moussa Dembele. There is a fresh young goalkeeper, Sergio Romero and new signing, Celso Oritz are some players who are fitting quite well into the side.

The coach is optimistic about this team to perform at the highest level and even compete with bigger European clubs at the European stage. The coach has set a fixed goal of surviving the initial stages of this tournament and would go for a 4-5-1 switch from a 4-3-3 formation. They have had confidence with a draw in their last match against Standard Liege.

Arsenal on the other hand have had ups and downs with inconsistency creeping in at times but at this stage they are desperate for a great showdown and they had won their last encounter with a 2-0 win over Olympiacos.

Arsenal is always a big team and a threat against the minnows but the inclusion of Andrei Arshavin is the biggest factor that might get them out of their lack of finishing at the final stages of this tournament. He is the factor that will determine their fate. There are always nig names coming in with the likes of Cesc Fabregas, Van Persie, young Theo Walcott and a new positive inclusion, Thomas Vermalen. They would go for an all out attack with a 4-4-2 initial formation and they are the deserved favorites for this encounter.
