FC Barcelona v Arsenal FC - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: Second Leg
Wenger will have to guide Arsenal FC to Europa League success this season

2006 UEFA Champions League finalists Arsenal are fourth on this list, with 17 red cards to their name. During Wenger's early days as the Gunners' boss, his players were accused of being extra physical and dangerous with their play and picked up numerous cards for their various offences.

Arsenal are a top European side and will be eager to return to the competition next season with two paths to the tournament. A fourth-place finish in the Premier League is possible as the club is currently sixth, just five points behind Liverpool in 4th. The UEFA Europa league route is also a possibility but the club will need to win the tournament.

On paper, Arsenal remains favourites but will need to play quality football to lift the trophy and gain entry into the elite European football competition. The English club has mesmerised the tournament on numerous occasions and is still one of the best team to have not lifted the prestigious trophy.
