Arsenal have a double header against Ludogorets over their next two Champions League fixtures and will know that two wins from two will pretty much guarantee them a place in the knockout stages with ten points.
Ahead of the home tie tonight, Arsenal are almost at full strength, with only long term absentees Per Mertesacker and Danny Welbeck not yet in training.
However, Olivier Giroud and Aaron Ramsey are unlikely to feature in tonight’s game as Arsene Wenger wants to give them more time on the training pitch before throwing them back into competitive action.
David Ospina should start in goal again as he has done in the last two Champions League ties whilst Francis Coquelin is contention to start after coming on as a late substitute against Swansea.
However, with Granit Xhaka suspended for the next league game, Arsene Wenger could choose to start him alongside Santi Cazorla and save the Frecnhman for the weekend’s game.
