How Arsenal could line up against Ludogorets in the Champions League

French frontman Olivier Giroud is expected to be rewarded for his two goals against Sunderland with a first start of the season in Tuesday's encounter in Bulgaria.

Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud looks set to start his first game of the season in Tuesday's Champions League Group A encounter against Ludogorets in Bulgaria.

The Frenchman made his second consecutive appearance in the 4-1 victory over Sunderland on Saturday where he scored two quickfire goals after coming on as a substitute for Alex Iwobi.

Giroud is expected to lead the line for the Gunners while Alexis Sanchez, who has played at center forward for most of the season, will likely revert to his favored position on the left flank.
