Alexis Out, Wilshere In: Wenger’s Likely XI To Play BATE Borisov

Forwards: Theo Walcott, Olivier Giroud, Alex Iwobi

With Alexis and Ozil ready to make a start together in the Premier League for the first time on Sunday, I think this now has to be our go-to front three in the Europa League.

Walcott gives us plenty of pace and despite the 74 errors he’ll make there’s always a high chance of him tucking away a goal – just like he did against Doncaster.

Giroud remains on 99 Arsenal goals and is yet to find the net since the opening day of the season so I really think 90 minutes would boost his confidence massively.

It looks like Wenger wants to mould Iwobi into a number 10 role so he has to take chances like this in order to show he can control an attack. Remember, he’s still only 21.
