Arsenal need a miracle to turn the tie around against European Champions Barcelona after a 2-0 home defeat suffered at the hands of the Catalan giants in the first leg of their R16 UEFA Champions League game.
The Gunners were eliminated from the FA Cup at the weekend by Watford and their confidence level is low after a series of poor results.
As far as the team news is concerned, Arsene Wenger has made a few changes in the starting line up that played vs Watford.
The likes of Bellerin and Monreal have replaced Chambers and Gibbs in the defense against Barca. Koscielny is back as well for the North Londoners. As far as the midfield is concerned, Flamini has returned to the starting XI in place of Coquelin.
In the attack, Iwobi starts alongside Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez behind lone striker Danny Welbeck who has replaced French international Olivier Giroud.
Here is Arsenal’s confirmed starting XI formation vs Barcelona.

I believe that Wenger knows for certain that he will be forced out of Arsenal at the end of the season , that is why he wanted Arsenal to be humilated by playing Elneny and Famini in the midfield against the best team in the world. Iwobi is a very promising talent , but he is less experienced than Walcott and Camopbell.
