Arsenal’s lineup for their Champions League clash with Galatasaray on Wednesday…
After failing to get the win against arch rivals Tottenham in the North London derby this weekend, Arsenal will be looking to bounce back quickly.
A number of injuries means there are very few options for Arsene Wenger in terms of selection, but this is a must win game for Arsenal so he should be putting out his best possible squad.

Here’s how we think Arsenal will line up against Galatasaray:
GK) Wojciech Szczesny
Arsenal’s definitive number one. David Ospina didn’t exactly inspire confidence during the Gunners’ 2-1 home loss against Southampton in the Capital One Cup, so Szczesny is sure to start.
DR) Hector Bellerin
With Laurent Koscielny a major doubt for the fixture, Calum Chambers will have to be pushed to centre-back. This will leave the right-back spot open for the young Spaniard Hector Bellerin to get his second consecutive Champions League start.
DRC) Per Mertesacker
The BFG is Arsenal’s first choice centre-back, although it’s not like they have much choice in the matter at the moment.
DLC) Calum Chambers
Chambers performed superbly in the centre of defence before Mertesacker returned this season, and with Laurent Koscielny a doubt he is likely to be pushed alongside the German for the game against Galatasaray.
DL) Kieran Gibbs
Nacho Monreal is still injured and Gibbs is the preferred choice at left-back anyway. An obvious choice.
