Walcott will likely be stationed on the right of an attacking midfield trio alongside Mesut Ozil and Joel Campbell.

Arsenal’s objective: win by two clear goals, or by one goal if the scoreline is 3-2 or higher. Anything less will send the Greek side through, and push Arsene Wenger's side into the Europa League.
