Danny Welbeck starts for Arsenal against AC Milan | OneFootball

Danny Welbeck has been given the nod to lead the line for Arsenal against AC Milan in the San Siro.

Elsewhere, David Ospina will play in goal for the Gunners and Calum Chambers will start the game at right-back in the absence of the injured Héctor Bellerín.

Milan boss Gennaro Gattuso, meanwhile, has named a strong starting XI featuring the likes of Gianluigi Donnarumma, Leonardo Bonucci and 20-year-old Patrick Cutrone.

Here are the two starting line-ups in full…

Arsenal will be hoping a torrid run of four straight defeats in all competitions comes to an end in the Europa League. The last time they lost five in a row was all the way back in 1977!

The last time these two sides met was in the last 16 of the 2011/12 Champions League, when Milan won 4-3 on aggregate.

And Italy hasn’t been a particularly happy hunting ground for Arséne Wenger’s side in recent years. They’ve lost each of their last three European trips to that part of the world (against Roma, Milan and Napoli) without registering a single goal.

March 2008 was the last time Arsenal won away at Milan and this guy played the full 90 minutes in midfield for the hosts.

Arsenal have scored the third-most goals in the Europa League this season (18) but eight of them were scored by players who are no longer at the club – Olivier Giroud (3), Theo Walcott (3), Alexis Sanchéz (1) and Mathieu Debuchy (1).
