Arsenal welcome Ludogorets Razgrad to the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday evening for their latest Champions League clash.

The Gunners have started the campaign well, drawing away to Paris Saint-Germain before defeating FC Basel 2-0 prior to the international break.

Theo Walcott scored a brace that night and the England international continued his great form at the weekend, netting two more in a 3-2 victory against Swansea City.

Arsenal are currently joint top of the Premier League and they are also level with PSG at the top of their Champions League group, which means the double-header against Ludogorets could be vital if the North London club want to win the group and secure a potentially easier clash in the first knockout round.

In early team news, Arsenal are without Per Mertesacker, Carl Jenkinson, Aaron Ramsey, Olivier Giroud and Danny Welbeck.
