Here’s how we think the Gunners will line up:

GK) David Ospina

David Ospina is back fit and should retain his spot in the Europa League team.

RCB) Mathieu Debuchy

The Frenchman should continue in the centre.

CB) Per Mertesacker

He’ll start.

LCB) Rob Holding

Rob Holding has been carrying a slight injury problem but should be fit enough to start.

RWB) Reiss Nelson

Reiss Nelson will play.

CM) Mohamed Elneny

Mohamed Elneny hasn’t played much football for Arsenal in midfield lately but we think that will change this evening.

CM) Francis Coquelin

We think Francis Coquelin will be given more time on the pitch.

LWB) Ainsley Maitland-Niles

He’ll start.

RAM) Danny Welbeck

Danny Welbeck is returning from injury and this match is the ideal time to give him some minutes on the pitch.

LAM) Jack Wilshere

Jack Wilshere will start.

ST) Olivier Giroud

The Frenchman returned to training on Wednesday and should be fit enough to start despite his recent injury.
