While Arsenal opened with a 2-1 win at Montpellier Hérault SC and a 3-1 home defeat of Olympiacos FC, Schalke were 2-1 victors against the Greek side in Piraeus on matchday one but then conceded a late equaliser to draw 2-2 at home to ten-man Montpellier. Previous meetings • The teams met in the 2001/02 UEFA Champions League group stage, when the coaches were as they are today – Arsène Wenger and Huub Stevens. Arsenal won 3-2 at home but lost 3-1 in Gelsenkirchen. • The teams for the game at Highbury on 19 September 2001 were: Arsenal: Seaman, Vieira, Keown, Ljungberg, Lauren, Parlour, Van Bronckhorst, Grimandi, Pirès (Inamoto 76), Wiltord (Bergkamp 72), Henry (Upson 90). Schalke: Reck, Van Kerckhoven, Hajto, Möller (Djordjević 72), Böhme (Mulder 82), Van Hoogdalem, Wałdoch, Vermant (Asamoah 54), Oude-Kamphuis, Mpenza, Agali. • Arsenal faced Borussia Dortmund in last season's group stage, when a 2-1 victory extended their run of successive home wins against Bundesliga visitors to six. They have recorded nine home victories overall, with one draw and one defeat – going down 3-2 to VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach in the 1996/97 UEFA Cup first round. • Schalke last visited England for the 2010/11 semi-final second leg against Manchester United FC in 2010/11, a 4-1 defeat compounding a 2-0 home reverse. Their record in England is W0 D1 L4. The only time Schalke have avoided defeat was their first visit, a 2-2 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers FC in a 1958/59 European Champion Clubs' Cup first round tie they won 4-3 on aggregate. Match background • Arsenal are taking part in the group stage for the 15th campaign in a row. In 2011/12 Wenger's side departed in the round of 16 for the second season running, having won four of their five home matches, play-offs included. It was the 12th successive time they had made it through the group and only the second campaign since 2006/07 that they had failed to reach the quarter-finals or better. • Arsenal are unbeaten in 16 UEFA Champions League home matches, play-offs included, since a 3-1 reverse by Manchester United in the 2008/09 semi-finals. That is their only defeat in their last 44 home games in the competition, with the remaining matches yielding 33 victories and ten draws. Arsenal have not lost at home to non-English opposition in the competition in 45 games, since a 3-0 defeat by FC Internazionale Milano at Highbury in September 2003. • Schalke are making their fifth UEFA Champions League appearance and when they were last involved, in 2010/11, they recovered from a 1-0 defeat at Olympique Lyonnais on matchday one to win seven of their next nine fixtures, with the other two drawn, before those two losses to Manchester United. Team ties • Per Mertesacker played for Hannover 96 (2003-2006) and SV Werder Bremen (2006-2011). He made 12 appearances against Schalke, putting through his own net in the 2-2 draw with Hannover on 20 March 2004. Lukas Podolski faced Schalke ten times with 1.
