Arsene Wenger has opted to start Carl Jenkinson at right-back, giving Hector Bellerin a much needed breather. Laurent Koscielny and Shkodran Mustafi continue to make the starting eleven and will be deployed as centre-backs.

In midfield, Granit Xhaka returns to the team and will form a double pivot with Francis Coquelin. Aaron Ramsey  also looks to have recuperated from an injury and will start on the right flank for the Gunners. Olivier Giroud will lead the line with Alexis Sanchez playing on the left wing.

For Ludogorets, Milan Borjan will start between the sticks with a defensive pairing of Jose Palomino and Cosmin Moti ahead of him. Jonathan Cafu and Marcelinho will be looking to provide creativity from midfield while the home fans will be hoping for a good performance by striker Claudiu Kesuru.
