Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud has warned his current side to take his former club Montpellier seriously when they meet in the Champions League on Wednesday evening.

The Gunners can reach the knockout stages if results go their way, with Arsenal 3/10 with bet365 to register a win over the French champions. Giroud told The Sun: "It's a must-win match for us because we have to go through to the next phase of the competition. "Montpellier have nothing to lose now they are already eliminated, but we have to be careful as that's when some teams are most dangerous. We must not take anything for granted when they come to the Emirates." Should Arsenal win the game, a Schalke victory at home to Olympiakos would see the Premier League outfit clinch a place in the last 16 of the competition without the need to get anything from their final group game in Greece.
