Arsenal's star summer signing Alexis Sánchez may have fallen out of favour in the Premier League recently, but the Chilean has been thrust back into the starting lineup for the Gunners' Champions League group stage match against Galatasaray. Manager Arsène Wenger seems to be starting him out on the right, with Danny Welbeck up top and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain partnering Mathieu Flamini in the centre of midfield.

Meanwhile, under-fire Galatasaray boss Cesare Prandelli has elected to start with a back three, with which he has sporadically experimented so far this season. Their star man, Wesley Sneijder, plays off a front two of Burak Yılmaz and Goran Pandev in an attacking midfield role.
Arsenal starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Wojciech Szczęsny; Calum Chambers, Per Mertesacker, Laurent Koscielny, Kieran Gibbs; Mathieu Flamini, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain; Santi Cazorla, Mesut Özil, Alexis Sánchez; Danny Welbeck.
Galatasaray starting lineup (3-4-1-2): Fernando Muslera; Semih Kaya, Felipe Melo, Aurélien Chedjou; Alex Telles, Yekta Kurtuluş, Blerim Džemaili, Veysel Sarı; Wesley Sneijder; Burak Yılmaz, Goran Pandev.
