Arsenal v AC Milan - UEFA Europa League Round of 16: Second Leg
Mkhitaryan has impressed fans with his performances in the Europa League

The new Arsenal signing started on the bench against Stoke City as Wenger attempted to rest some of his key players ahead of the Europa League clash. Mkhitaryan was later given around 15 minutes of game time towards the end of the Premier League match to fine tune his sharpness. He is expected to play alongside Mesut Ozil as part of an attacking midfield trio.

Central Attacking Midfielder: Mesut Ozil

Ozil woke up from his first-half slumber to aid his team to a crucial win against the Potters. The German midfielder is expected to play in the Europa League. At this crucial stage of the European competition, Arsenal cannot afford to let their guard down because winning the Europa League seems the most probable way to get entry into Champions League next season. Ozil will be Arsenal's creative outlet up top.

Right-wing: Aaron Ramsey

After recovering well from his minor procedure, the Welshman looks ready to play a big role in the rest of the season. His runs into the box offer a goalscoring threat. Beyond that, the diligent midfielder tries to cover as much ground as possible to prevent the team from losing possession. Ramsey has always been eager to participate in both defence and attack and his tenacity will be key against CSKA.
