French side Marseille's keeper warns Arsenal to beware of 'Group of Death'

French side Marseille's goalkeeper Steve Mandanda has reportedly warned Arsenal that his 'Group of Death' will turn every game into a Champions League final.

According to the Mirror, Arsene Wenger's side will start their European campaign in Marseille on Wednesday, and are aware that even with new signing Mesut Ozil and in-form Olivier Giroud, they face a tough task advancing from a group also including Napoli and last season's beaten finalists Borussia Dortmund.

Stating that Marseille's Champions League group is fantastic, Mandanda said that for any club to progress, every game must be like a final, adding that unless a club wins their home games, they have no chance of winning in the main tournament.

However, Mandanda admitted that it would not be easy for them to stop Arsenal as they look like they are very strong with the presence of Ozil and Giroud.

Arsenal is likely to be boosted by the return of defender Per Mertesacker, who missed Saturday's win at Sunderland through illness, the report added.
