Team News: Jack Wilshere returns to starting lineup

Wilshere starts for Arsenal

Arsene Wenger has included Jack Wilshere in his starting lineup for Tuesday evening's Champions League qualifying tie with Fenerbahce.

The England midfielder was used as a substitute in the Premier League victory over Fulham on the weekend but he returns to the team as Arsenal look book their spot in the group stages following a 3-0 win in Turkey last week.

Nacho Monreal replaces Kieran Gibbs at left-back for the hosts and Bacary Sagna will partner Per Mertesacker in central defence.

Fenerbahce will need a big performance if they are to record an unlikely upset and they'll be relying on the combined attacking threat of Dirk Kuty, Emmanuel Emenike and Moussa Sow.

Arsenal: Szczesny, Jenkinson, Sagna, Mertesacker, Monreal, Wilshere, Ramsey, Cazorla, Walcott, Giroud, Podolski

Fenerbahce: Demirel, Gonul, Bruno Alves, Korkmaz, Erkin, Sahin, Baroni, Meireles, Kuyt, Emenike, Sow
