Odds: Basel 2/1, Draw 12/5, Arsenal 13/10

Arsenal travel to Switzerland this week to take on FC Basel in their final Champions League group game of the season.

The Gunners are still fighting for top spot with Paris Saint-Germain, after the two teams drew 2-2 last time out, but all Arsenal can do is win this encounter and hope for the best.

Arsene Wenger’s side will know from previous campaigns how important it can be to finish top of the pile. However with things out of their hands all they can do is take the three points from their latest trip and see what happens in the other clash.

In early team news, Arsenal are without Danny Welbeck, Mathieu Debuchy, Hector Bellerin, Per Mertesacker and Santi Cazorla.

Despite those absences the Gunners still have the strength in depth to put out a side more than capable of overcoming their Swiss opponents, especially after they smashed West Ham United 5-1 at the weekend.

Here is how we expect Arsenal to line up for their must-win match:
