Arsene Wenger admits it is Arsenal's main objective to top their Champions League group after conceding the Gunners have paid the price for not doing so in the recent past.
Arsenal can secure qualification to the knockout stages for the 17th consecutive season if they beat Ludogorets in Bulgaria on Tuesday night and Group A rivals Basle fail to beat Paris St Germain in Switzerland.
The Bulgarian champions were humbled 6-0 at the Emirates Stadium less than a fortnight ago but will be hoping for a better show when they turn out at the Vasil Levski National Stadium in Sofia - a 435-mile round-trip from Ludogorets' regular home in Razgrad.
