Richest Football Clubs In The World 2014
GK: Wojciech Szczesny
Despite the promising performances of youngster Damian Martinez, Wojciech Szczesny should return for Arsenal in this tough away fixture.
DR: Mathieu Debuchy
An uncertainty perhaps, but Mathieu Debuchy returned to training this week and is a possible contender to start for the Gunners in this game after missing much of the start of the season.
DL: Hector Bellerin
Poor against Stoke City, but Bellerin has had two tough first starts for Arsenal and deserves another chance to start in this game to prove himself.
DC: Per Mertesacker
Another player who needs a performance after a poor showing in the Stoke defeat, Per Mertesacker has to start due to a shortage of options, and should captain the side.
DC: Calum Chambers
With Laurent Koscielny still something of a doubt after missing the 3-2 loss at the Britannia Stadium, Calum Chambers will be given another game at centre-back.
MC: Mathieu Flamini
With Mikel Arteta still out, there is little option for Arsene Wenger but to field the struggling Mathieu Flamini in the defensive midfield role against Galatasaray.
MC: Aaron Ramsey
Aaron Ramsey appears to be playing himself back into form, and Arsene Wenger has proven himself right to stick by his man.
AMC: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
A player who needs a little more consistency to his game, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has still been decent for Arsenal this season and seems a strong contender to start here.
AML: Lukas Podolski
With Arsene Wenger recently admitting Alexis Sanchez is in need of a rest, this seems an ideal time for the Chilean to drop to the bench, with Lukas Podolski perhaps handed a chance on the left flank.
AMR: Joel Campbell
Joel Campbell has rarely been granted a chance for Arsenal, but will be offered the opportunity to impress for this challenging game in Turkey.
FC: Yaya Sanogo
In the past five years, Yaya Sanogo has scored more UEFA Champions League goals than Radamel Falcao. The Gunners forward has scored one. He’ll earn the attempt to at least double that tally in Istanbul.
