A win against Red Star tonight will hand the Gunners a five-point advantage at the top of Group H.

Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil returned to full training this week and came on off the bench over the weekend but has been dropped for the Red Star game.

Ozil has not been included in the match day squad and neither has star man Alexis Sanchez.

Wenger has opted to rotate his side giving youngsters Nelson, Maitland-Niles and Willock a rare start.

Jack Wilshere has also got the nod in attacking midfield alongside Theo Walcott.

The French manager has opted for a 3-5-2 setup against the Serbian outfit tonight.
