Midfield: Hector Bellerin, Mohamed Elneny, Jack Wilshere, Ainsley Maitland-Niles
Many of us would love to see the likes of Reiss Nelson feature in the starting XI but these players have to be considered first given their experience away from home in European competitions.
I thought Elneny’s performance against West Brom was the best I’ve ever seen him in an Arsenal shirt and he’ll want to carry that on with Wilshere in the middle.
Bellerin may be given a rest simply because of the nature of our schedule and playing again on Sunday afternoon could damage his fitness going into the international break.
Maitland-Niles has done nothing to suggest he deserves to be dropped so once again I think we’ll see him on the left hand side of our midfield. We need back-up in this area having sold Gibbs and The Ox, so it’s important for him to realise that!
