Arsenal are kicking off a plethora of fixtures which sees them playing two games a week for the foreseeable future. Starting it off with a Champions League match against Barcelona is a tough way to go. It’s not the best situation to be in for a club that often lacks depth. However, they have the recent injury returnees of Danny Welbeck, Francis Coquelin and Alexis Sanchez to add another layer.
Plus, the Gunners were able to hand a much-needed rest to Francis Coquelin, Mesut Ozil, Aaron Ramsey, Giroud and Alexis over the weekend so five of their main components will be fresh and ready to go.
It is a massive match for Alexis, who has not been in good form lately. However, against his former club, he may be able to dig deep and find that level of play that we are so accustomed to seeing.

Every news source out there has Barcelona as the odds on favorites to win the Champions League and given the front line of Messi, Suarez and Neymar, it’s hard to doubt them. This team is engineering pure brilliance and it would take an absolute masterclass to stop them.
That being said, the Catalan side is keenly aware that Arsenal is a talented club. They will not be taking the match for granted. However, with no major injuries to speak of, the favor is in Barcelona’s favor. Even if an away leg does not go in their favor, a return to the Nou Camp usually mends all wounds.
