Arsenal’s first leg Europa League quarter-final against Napoli is almost upon us so it’s time to try and work out who will start the game at Ashburton Grove on Thursday night.

Up top, it’s really anyone’s guess who Unai Emery goes with.

Alexandre Lacazette will start as he is clearly the Spaniard’s first choice but what of the others?

Mesut Ozil should get the nod again despite his poor showing at the weekend that ended with him hurling his coat at Marco Silva (perhaps he thought the Everton boss was cold and was merely trying to assist him).

I have a feeling Emery will opt for Alex Iwobi over Henrikh Mkhitaryan but that is based on nothing more than my gut.
