[Confirmed] Arsenal lineup vs Bešiktaš: Koscielny and Giroud start

Laurent Koscielny has been deemed fit to play and partners Calum Chambers in the heart of the defence, while Olivier Giroud is the only other change from the weekends win over Crystal Palace who comes in for Yaya Sanogo who failed to make the trip.

Jack Wilshere has a chance to impress after a slightly lackluster performance over the weekend and joins the likes of Arteta, Ramsey and Cazorla in midfield.

New signing Alexis Sanchez will be eager to get off the mark in Arsenal colours tonight.

There is a decent selection on the bench for the Gunners with Oxlade-Chamberlain, Campbell, Flamini and Rosicky all eager to play a part in the fixture

Arsenal team: Szczesny, Debuchy, Chambers, Koscielny, Monreal, Arteta, Wilshere, Ramsey, Alexis, Cazorla, Giroud
