Arsenal v Red Star – Confirmed lineups, Wenger set to rotate squad for Europa League
Arsenal face Red Star Belgrade at the Emirates in the Europa League as they look to maintain their winning run.
Arsene Wenger’s side beat Swansea City 2-1 last weekend and have won four games in a row since their shock defeat to Watford FC.
Wenger has rested several key names tonight as preparations continue for this weekend’s encounter with Manchester City.
Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez and Alexandre Lacazette have not been included in the squad.
Wenger has opted for several rotation players. Macey gets a rare start in goal while youngsters Willock, Nelson and Maitland-Niles have also got the nod.
England international duo Walcott and Wilshere both start as does French striker Giroud
Arsenal can secure their place in the next round of the Europa League with a win tonight.
The Gunners recorded a 1-0 win over Red Star a fortnight ago, with Olivier Giroud’s bicycle kick sealing the win.
The two sides previously met back in 1978 for a UEFA Cup third round clash with Red Star qualifying 2-1 on aggregate.
