Tomorrow is the return of the Champions league which will see Arsenal come up against Monaco.

Arsenal have no new injury worries but Jack Wilshere is looking very unlikely to be involved tomorrow.

Wenger confirmed this at his pre-match press conference but there is not an injury setback. It is believed to just be a rest as Wilshere has put a lot of hard work in to return this early.

However, there is some positive injury news regarding Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Wenger confirmed that he is back in full training which would mean he is not too far away from being in contention to be part of the match day squad.

Arsenal are getting important players back which is making this Arsenal squad look incredibly strong. Wilshere is not a worry for me at the moment as the midfield looks balanced and this is probably one of the first times he can gradually be brought back into contention which is a good thing. Hopefully with an extended recovery period Wilshere can shrug of all these injuries.

In terms of Oxlade –Chamberlain this is also a positive step forward. The Ox provides a direct approach in attack which gives Arsenal something different and strengthens the squad significantly.

This is my predicted line up for tomorrow;

Ospina, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs, Coquelin, Cazorla, Ӧzil, Welbeck, Sanchez and Giroud.

I would fully expect Welbeck to start over Walcott due to his ability to track back but I could be wrong. I’ve gone for Monreal just because he’s in a good vain of form but once again Gibbs may get the nod. That decision is a tough one to predict.

The talking is almost over, it’s time for Arsenal to do the business now.

Its time Arsenal were banned from the Champions league, what a waste of Europes time dining at the top table but way out of their depth. Fake success little club!

What a shambles, no plan B, no reliable holding midfield player, worst player (Ozil) remains on the pitch. Wenger does not know his best side, and continually tries to put square pegs in round holes, this must be Arsenals worst ever performance in Europe. Sorry, time for a change at the end of season, new manager and new board required
Let's hope we don't get a hang over against Everton

Most likely will be that. However, Wenger open his eyes to learn from experience. He is found of during technically faulty substitutions. Defense in football depends on the attacking force of their respective side. Remained Alexis, Ozil and brings in a total defender like Gibbs will cost him one day.
