Elneny starts in defence again, with Debuchy and Holding either side of him. And with the wing-backs natural wingers, there is likely to be space for the Red Star Belgrade players to exploit. The onus will be on the attacking trio of Walcott, Wilshere and Giroud to provide the goals at the other end.
