Likely Line-Up vs. Cologne: Wenger To Make 9 Changes As Wilshere & Alexis Start

Forwards: Alexis Sanchez, Olivier Giroud, Alex Iwobi

With plenty of options in this area it’s difficult to leave Theo Walcott out of the side but gone are the days of him being handed the luxury of no competition.

Alexis will return to the starting line-up after being rested for the weekend’s 3-0 win over Bournemouth and he’ll be determined to get the Emirates crowd back on his side.

As for Alex Iwobi, he’s talked about a central role for a long time and now he’s got an extra competition to show Wenger he’s capable of one day filling Ozil’s boots.

Olivier Giroud has one extra reason to bag a goal and it comes in the name of Alex Lacazette, who has seemingly walked in to the starting XI since his £52m move.
