<p>The Gunners were handed a repeat of their last-16 ties from both 2013 and 2014, both of which saw them eliminated. They also met in last season&#8217;s group stage.</p>
<p>Manchester City were paired with Monaco in the first tie drawn out while Leicester were the last team drawn and will face Sevilla.</p>
<p>Arsenal&#8217;s general secretary David Miles told BT Sport 2: <i>&#8220;We thought it might happen, we&#8217;ve played them five or six times in the last 15 years.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve now qualified for the knockout stage for the 14th successive season, that&#8217;s testament to Arsene and the squad over that period.</p>
<p>&#8220;The fans will think we&#8217;ve got the rough end of the draw again but at some stage the tide&#8217;s got to turn so why not this time?&#8221;</i></p>
<p>The ties will be played in February and March, with Arsenal knowing they have the second leg at home by virtue of qualifying as group winners.</p>
<p><i>&#8220;Hopefully we can get some of our injured players back and the home game in the second leg will be vital for us,&#8221;</i> said Miles. <i>&#8220;We&#8217;re going to be upbeat and positive.&#8221;</i></p>

<p>Manchester City&#8217;s director of football Txiki Beguiristain was happy with his side&#8217;s draw but warned Monaco &#8211; who twice beat Tottenham en route to topping group E &#8211; pose a tough test.</p>
<p><i>&#8220;We are happy to be here, and then we have avoided Real Madrid and Barcelona,&#8221; he told BT Sport.</p>
<p>&#8220;Monaco are playing probably the best football in France now. In a group with Tottenham and Bayer Leverkusen they were top and they have young players and a lot of talent.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a new adventure for everybody here and it is a good draw. We want to be offensive and play attacking football and Monaco want this (as well).&#8221;</i></p>
