Champions League preview: Udinese - Arsenal
The Gunners are in the driving seat with a one-goal lead from the first leg, but will likely be pushed all the way by the determined Italian side with a formidable home record

Despite his side’s defeat at the Emirates Stadium a week ago, Udinese coach Francesco Guidolin will likely stick with the same starting XI for the return leg.

Talismanic captain Antonio Di Natale will once again plough a lone furrow up front, with the midfield quartet of Isla, Pinzi, Asamoah and Armero all looking to get forward and support him, while the responsibility of protecting the back line will be designated to young Ghanaian Emmanuel Badu.

With the Gunners squad beset with injuries in defensive positions, boss Arsene Wenger may well be forced to field out-of-favor Sebastien Squillaci alongside Thomas Vermaelen in the center of defense, with Bacary Sagna filling in at left-back in the absence of Kieran Gibbs.

With Samir Nasri’s move to Manchester City widely expected to be completed in a matter of days, Wenger is unlikely to include the wantaway midfielder in the match squad, and Tomas Rosicky appears the most obvious candidate to replace him.

Alex Song and Gervinho, while still banned from Premier League action, are available here and should regain their starting berths, while new club captain Robin van Persie returns from European suspension and will displace Marouane Chamakh up front.
