Arsenal will be playing Koln away from home on Tuesday for their next Europa League game, but Arsene Wenger won’t be very much bothered about the outcome of the game as his side are already through to the knockout stages of the tournament.
However, his men will be going into the game with full confidence following their win over an in-form Tottenham side in the premier league last weekend.
And as far as Arsenal’s team news is concerned, we can expect Arsene to make a handful of changes in the starting eleven that played against Mauricio Pochettino’s side at the Emirates Stadium.
The French boss is likely to start the likes of Debuchy, Holding and Mertesacker in the back line, while David Ospina should take care of the woodwork.
The duo of Conqueln and Elneny should be in the midfield, with Nelson and Maitland-Niles taking care of the wing-back positions.
And as far as the attack is concerned, we aren’t expecting to see the likes of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil in such a game. But Wenger should field Wilshere and Iwobi to support Danny Welbeck.
Here is Arsenal’s probable 3-4-2-1 XI on Thursday.
GK – Ospina
DC – Holding
DC – Debuchy
DC – Per
ML – Maitland-Niles
MC – Conqueln
MC – Elneny
MR – Nelson
AC – Iwobi
AC – Wilshere
FC – Welbeck
