Arsene Wenger well not send his Arsenal team out to defend their narrow advantage against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday.
The Gunners are 1-0 ahead from the first leg of their last-16 tie, on the back on an unbeaten 17-match run in all competitions.
Sunday's 3-0 victory over Burnley in the FA Cup fifth round - which set up a potential semi-final date with Chelsea at Wembley next month - was a 10th clean sheet from the last 14 games as the Gunners once again displayed their renewed defensive security.
Defender Kolo Toure has recovered from a calf problem and jetted out with the rest of squad, as Wenger reported no fresh injury concerns from the weekend - although Russian Andrei Arshavin is cup-tied.
That could mean both Theo Walcott and Eduardo - who netted a brilliant volley against Burnley - are in contention to face the Italians.
While a strong defensive display would secure safe passage into the last eight, Wenger maintained on the club's official website: "I do not think that is the way to behave going into a game like this as it is too dangerous.
