Arsenal v Basle, Wednesday September 28, 7.45pm (live on BT Sport 3 from 7pm)
Key statistics
Basle have won all nine of their Swiss Super League games so far this season, scoring 27 times and only conceding seven.
But they were only able to manage a 1-1 draw with Ludogrets in their opening Champions League encounter.
Arsenal have never lost to a Swiss side in four meetings, scoring eight times and only conceding once.
Per Mertesacker and Danny Welbeck are still out while Aaron Ramsey is not expected to return until after the international break.
The Gunners will also appear in yellow despite being at home. UEFA deemed the white of Arsenal's trim and shorts to be potentially confusing alongside Basel's all-white away kit.
