I was surprised to see Wenger use a back 4, even against poor opposition. I was even more surprised that BATE Borisov really didn't have a game plan. I thought they would press us aggressively, put in heavy challenges around the area and look to counter attack knowing that they needed to win to have a chance of progressing. Not only did they not do that but they didn't batten down the hatches in an attempt to escape with a respectable margin of loss either. Strange. Not that I mind too much, although it is almost impossible to take much away from a game of this type. It will be interesting to see who we get in the next stage baring in mind Bayern Munich aren't in the competition.
Arsenal will win here this match is about finishing the group stages on a high and building confidence for the southampton match. This time arsenal will show up. Arsenal win and welbeck to score.
Wenger said he will line up quite experienced team so maybe Mertesacer will start anyway I believe Arsenal in this match they are fabuless at home...3:0
I expect Giroud to start over Welbeck with it being confirmed Walcott will start. Both Wilshere and Walcott play better with a target man in the 9, not somebody who likes to come deep and get involved in the build-up. WhoScored's lineup seems spot-on and I agree Mertesacker will be saved for the game against Southampton at the weekend. Individual errors cost us against Utd, and a formation is not to blame for that. Wenger likes the 3-4-2-1 so will keep it. I expect us to have too much although with that back 3, I can see us conceding. 3-1 Arsenal.
@Gusjaros Well that would be one more reason to rest him. Playing 180 mins within few days would be challenging for a player who has completed only 90 minutes during last five weeks, at least on a first team level. Plus he's 33 and weighs modest 90 kilos or so :D

@SteveHyland Why save on Mertesacker? He’s only played 540 minutes this season.
