Arsenal's predicted line-up against AC Milan

Mkhitaryan has been in good form for the Gunners

Left wing: Alex Iwobi

Iwobi has been improving his game

Iwobi has largely been the man on duty to charge down the left flanks. Although his crosses and passes have not been that accurate, Iwobi has been putting in lots of hard work in his games.

He has combined well with Kolasinac and Ozil. Very often, Iwobi finds himself becoming the link between the full-backs and the German. The Nigerian has excelled in that particular role.

Central Attacking Midfielder: Mesut Ozil

Mesut Ozil has been the dictator of Arsenal's attacking force

Be it a bad or good showing, Arsenal's performances will always be linked to this man.

As the team's star player, he showed why he was worth his price tag in games against Watford and AC Milan.

There was hardly anyone in the midfield who could match his intelligence in reading the runs of his team-mates.

Although he is largely absent when it comes to defensive duties, fans can be reassured that as long as Arsenal are keen to attack and move forward as a team, this man will dictate the play and goals will come.

With the home match having such a great pressure on the team and Wenger, the manager will definitely name Ozil in the starting XI.

Right-wing: Henrikh Mkhitaryan

Mkhitaryan grabbed Arsenal's first goal against AC Milan

The former Manchester United player picked up a few knocks here and there in the game where Arsenal faced Watford.

Given that Wenger made no mention of his condition, Mkhitaryan should be fit to start against their Europe opponents.

His involvement in defending does not seem as bad as what Jose Mourinho has mentioned previously and that is something Arsenal fans should be glad to see.

Mkhitaryan has prospered in Europa League matches. The statistics of his performances are on his side and without any hesitation, he showed that he can play well with Ozil in the starting line-up.
