Arsenal may have been forced to progress into the Champions League group stage by the play-off round route again, but that's not something which has worried Arsene Wenger's men in the past.

The Gunners, who take on Besiktas away from home in the first leg tonight, have a remarkable record in Champions League play-off round fixtures - winning all 12 of their previous matches. They have scored nearly 30 goals in those 12 matches, and conceded just three.

In total, Arsenal’s Champions League qualifying record stands at:

P 12

W 12

F 29

A 3

The Gunners are back to Premier League business at the weekend, when they travel to Everton for Saturday's evening kick-off.
