Arsene Wenger has not brought his strongest team to Istanbul, and understandably so, given how slim the chances are of Arsenal overtaking Borussia Dortmund and winning Group D.
This means there will be a sturdy-looking defence, anchored again by Per Mertesacker, and a rather less reliable front-line, with Joel Campbell, Yaya Sanogo and Lukas #Podolski (Six starts between them this season, 17 from the bench, two goals).

Wenger added: "The players who needed it stayed behind - like Santi Cazorla, Alexis Sanchez, Kieran Gibbs. Olivier Giroud is not qualified and Danny Welbeck could have travelled but recently had a little knee problem, so I took advantage of that to rest him.
The Turkish side will finish fourth regardless of the result but new coach Hamza Hamzaoglu hopes the prospect of playing without fear will help his side secure a third successive win but they will be without Dzemaili (hamstring), Selcuk İnan (suspended).
