Europa League: How Arsenal might line up against CSKA Moscow

Centre-midfielder: Granit Xhaka

Xhaka leaping forward for the ball

The Swiss national played for approximately 15 minutes during the weekend as Wenger decided not to start him and give him a breather. Xhaka looked sharp with his passing and showed that he was capable of dictating the play from deep. He should be called to the starting lineup ahead of Elneny for the upcoming fixture.

Centre-midfielder: Jack Wilshere

Wilshere's influence in the game grew after the break and he became more dominant in possession. The Englishman's through passes have been vital in opening up the opposition defence. His recent performances show why he deserves a new contract from the Gunners and he has the CSKA Moscow match to impress further.
