Kind draw: Arsenal have avoided the big boys in the last 16

English sides face reunions with teams who they faced in last season's Champions League, following this morning's draw.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger takes the Gunners up against his former club Monaco.

The Frenchman had been eager to take on his old club and he will now return to the Principality for the first time in Europe's Premier club competition since leaving the club 20 years ago.

Wenger spent seven years as Monaco manager between 1987-1994, winning both Ligue 1 (1987-88) and the Coupe de France (1990-91) during his time at the Stade Louis II.

Premier League leaders Chelsea will meet French champions Paris Saint-Germain in a repeat of last year's quarter-final.

The Blues claimed victory over two legs back in April, only thanks to a late Demba Ba goal, and now face the toughest of the second-placed sides.
