Fixture: Basel vs Arsenal
Competition: Champions League
Kick-off: 19:45 (UK time)

Arsenal have named their starting line-up and substitutes to lock horns with Swiss giants Basel at St. Jakob-Park in the Champions League this evening.

The Gunners have already booked a spot in the last 16 of the Champions League, but head into tonight's fixture looking to secure top place in their group. Arsene Wenger's men may need to win to stand any chance of finishing top, but even victory will not be enough if Paris Saint-Germain defeat Ludogorets Razgrad.




Arsenal thrashed West Ham United 5-1 at the weekend and head into the fixture in fine form. Looking to beat Basel, Gunners boss Wenger selects Gabriel Paulista at right-back, with Rob Holding and Laurent Koscielny the centre-back pair. Granit Xhaka lines up in midfield alongside Aaron Ramsey, while Alex Iwobi, Mesut Ozil and Lucas Perez look to support Alexis Sanchez.

Wenger has Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott on the bench if his side need to chase goals tonight, while Mohamed Elneny will be hoping to feature against his former club.
