We need to start a relatively strongest 11 and make sure we get the 3 points. Canât afford to turn off like we did against Olympiacos.
Elneny will play ofcourse, So i assume we will rest one of Cazorla/Ozil.

Want a full team out for this, no messing about. Expect Ospina in goal though. Wouldnât be surprised if he played Giroud and dropped Iwobi either. Expect Xhaka to be starting. Also hoping for another 3-0 win in this, Basel usually are one of those teams that play well in the CL. But I expect us to win this.
I hope Wenger picks Xhaka to play against his old team.
Play the best team, as then we have 4 days to recover.
I think Lucas will get some game time as he didnât feature during the Chelsea game at all. CF or not, some more minutes would be nice with the squad confidence high at the moment. I wouldnât want to disrupt the back four much, the midfield can be tweaked a little with Elneny possibly coming in.
You can only see one outcome in this fixture after such a good result yesterday and Iâm going for 3-1 us.

I wouldnât underestimate Basel particularly.
Yes theyâve won 9 out of 9 in their league (could almost be talking matches or championships there :p) but itâs more about when a team is used to that winning feeling every week, it can be hard to get them BEAT.
I just watched some UEFA highlights of their match against LudoRaz, they did dominate the match but got suckered on the break big time by one of the away sideâs Brazilian contingent.
Xhaka on Xhaka is going to be the storyline here.

This has just snuck onto Ticket Ex about a day before the match lolz, canât help but feel thatâs a dumb decision.
About a billion season tickets just gone up for grabs. Iâm going to try and do the 6 group games this season so worked out for me anyhow.
Can see us playing in this formation.
Possibly Lucas instead of Alexis or Chamberlain. Xhaka has to start alongside Elneny, to give Cazorla a breather. Keep the backline intact apart from Gibbs coming in for Monreal. Ospina starts again, obviously.
We should win this. Have a good go at them straight from the kick-off. Donât allow them to get comfortable.

I wouldnât mind that. Except Lucas in for Chamberlain as you said. Chamberlain really is a waste of space
He is set to play again.
Agreed Iâm fine with the other 10 but just please no Oxlade Chamberlain.

3:0 to the Arsenal. Basel are not as good as they used to be in the last few years (especially against English teams).
9 wins from 9 in the Swiss League, +22 GD how good did they used to be ? Lol
Ăder Ălvarez Balanta plays for Basel, if you know you know 
Hope to see Elneny give Cazorla a rest, other than that I wouldnât change anything else, need to win this game.

Yep, itâd be wise to give Cazorla a break I think.
