    Kerry Peter Parvin:, external Arsenal v Dortmund tonight must-win game! Here's hoping as I have for the last 2 years Jürgen Klopp for next Arsenal manager.

    Seany Ekon:, external OK. If Ramsey does not perform tonight, he is finished for me. However, he does play well when Wilshere is not in picture.

    Shanmugaraja CK:, external I don't know if Wenger is right man or not but we have regressed every year despite financial progress.

    So what we're asking you tonight is, would you want Jurgen Klopp as your manager? Arsenal fans, would you get rid of Arsene Wenger right now if it meant you could get Klopp? Perhaps they could just swap dugouts tonight.

    I'll start us off - I'd take him at Oxford.

    Jurgen Klopp

    Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp has become one of the most sought-after - and entertaining - coaches in Europe in the past few seasons, winning the 2011 and 2012 German titles and reaching the 2013 Champions League final.

    And he has been linked to tonight's opponents, as well as Liverpool. He says he could manage in England in the future but "not now, not in the next year".

    "I don't know when," he said, while speaking English in his pre-match news conference.

    "I don't plan things like this. I've been asked 'what do you do after Borussia Dortmund?' It is possible if somebody called me then, then we could talk about it.

    "This is unfinished business with Dortmund in this moment. It is easy to feel responsible for winning games, it is much more difficult to handle this feeling now."

    Champions League table

    Arsenal's needs tonight are fairly straightforward too, which comes as a relief after the head-scratching and mini-leagues chat at BBC Sport last night.

    If the Gunners win or draw, they are in the last 16. In fact they could lose and still qualify if Anderlecht and Galatasaray draw in Brussels. That game is also happening at 19:45 GMT tonight.

    But for some reason, the 2013 finalists are flying in the Champions League. They have already qualified and only need a point in north London tonight to win Group D.

    Not many people refer to Europe's premier club competition as a "holiday". But Jurgen Klopp is not 'people'.

    "When I think about the Bundesliga, this here is a little bit like a holiday for me. After all, it's only the Champions League."

    Arsenal may think their Premier League campaign has gone badly so far - Arsene Wenger's side are eighth, their worst start to a season in 32 years.

    But Jurgen Klopp's Dortmund are in a relegation battle in the Bundesliga. If the season ended now they would face a relegation play-off against a second-tier side for a place in the top flight.

    Struggling in their domestic league.

    Creative, attacking football not yielding results.

    A team hit by injuries.

    A legendary club manager under real pressure.

    But enough about Borussia Dortmund, tonight they visit Arsenal in the Champions League.
