Arsenal team news: Wenger to rotate squad tonight with one eye on Man City clash

Arsenal will be looking to record their fifth back-to-back win this evening when they take on Red Star Belgrade in the Europa League.

The Gunners host Red Star at the Emirates stadium while kick-off is scheduled for 20:05 (GMT).

Arsene Wenger’s side can book their place in the next round of the Europa League if they win tonight.

The French tactician is however expected to field a weakened side tonight. Wenger will have one eye on this weekend’s clash with Man City in the Premier League as he decides upon his starting eleven.

Petr Cech is expected to retain his place in-goal as David Ospina nears a return after a groin injury.

Meanwhile, Calum Chambers is also unlikely to feature despite returning to first-team training this week. Wenger is expected to stick with a youthful starting eleven which he has used so-far in Europa League.

Star playmaker Mesut Ozil will be given the night off, the 29-year-old has been in impressive form of late for the north London-based club.
