Jack Wilshere starts as Arsenal name surprisingly strong side | OneFootball

Arsenal secured a 3-0 lead over Östersunds to take back to the Emirates, with goals coming from Nacho Monreal, a Sotorios Papagiannopoulos own-goal and Mesut Özil.

Arsène Wenger is desperate to avoid any injuries with one eye on Sunday’s Carabao Cup final against Manchester City.

Danny Welbeck gets the start up top with Alexandre Lacazette recovering from minor knee surgery, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is ineligible to compete after playing in the Champions League with Borussia Dortmund.

Wenger looks to win the League Cup for the first time in his career, having missed out in the final twice before against Chelsea in 2007 and Birmingham in 2011 – both by 2-1 scorelines.

No club from Sweden has won an away European match in England since Östers IF defeated Tottenham in the 1995 Intertoto Cup.

The Gunners have lost just once in their last 27 matches at the Emirates – winning 22 and drawing four since a 5-1 defeat to Bayern Munich last March.
