[Predicted Lineup] Alexis Sanchez Dropped In Favour Of New Signing, Xhaka Starts


Arsenal host Ludogorets Razgrad on Wednesday night in what is the perfect opportunity to maintain their fantastic run of form and push PSG in the race for top spot in Group A.

Arsene Wenger has plenty of options at hand when the Bulgarian side come to town in what will be back-to-back Champions League matches, two wins could all but secure a place in the last 16.

Here’s how we think Arsenal will line up:

Arsenal team (L-R back row), Arsenal

GK) David Ospina

The Colombia international will inevitably be between the sticks once again as he continues his role as the Cup goalkeeper.

RB) Hector Bellerin

Hector has barely been afforded a rest this season and considering the importance of three points on Wednesday night will get the nod.

CB) Laurent Koscielny

This back five has been a very solid unit and Laurent Koscielny continues to be key. The Frenchman will keep his place and may even captain the side.

CB) Shkodran Mustafi

Shkodran Mustafi will certainly partner Koscielny in the heart of the defence and hope to add a clean sheet after breaking their impressive recent run by conceding two against Swansea.

LB) Nacho Monreal

Although Kieran Gibbs is certainly a good shout to come in, the upcoming UCL cup match may well be his chance with Wenger unlikely to relinquish his first-choice back four.
