Debuchy, Dasilva & Coquelin Start: Arsenal’s Likely Line-Up vs. Red Star Belgrade

Midfield: Mohamed Elneny and Francis Coquelin

This is a big call in midfield but I’d like to see us welcome Coquelin back in order to push Wilshere up into his favoured number 10 role.

Coquelin returned from a month-long spell on the sidelines by playing 45 minutes for the U23’s in Monday night’s 2-0 victory over Sunderland U23’s.

Wenger could hand the midfielder a chance to get 60 minutes under his belt before slowly edging back into contention for a chance in the Premier League given Granit Xhaka’s recent poor form.

As for Elneny, he needs to take control of this midfield with two youngsters playing on the flanks and show he’s still capable of wearing the Arsenal shirt.
