Arsenal/ShakhtarDonetsk

Shakhtar Donetsk manager Lucescu obviously likes a sub as he's made a change on
57, 57, 70, 45, 61 , 90, 66, 74, 79, 62, 65 and 67 minutes in the last 4 games alone. Hübschman and the strikers took the brunt of those substitutions but it's another reason to favour Arsenal players for your Big Game team.

Although Shakhtar Donetsk are top of the Ukrainian league I'll be going for at least 4 Arsenal players tonight. Which 4 is another matter, Nasri has been in Arsenal's top 3 points scorers for the last 3 Picklive matches so he'll be in my 5. Wilshere and Clichy have been in that top 3 at least a couple of times in the last 4 matches so are obviously worth considering. With Koscielny, Sagna and Vermaelen out Squillaci might worth a try at the back, as might Eboue if he starts at full-back.

But the big question is whether to go for Fabregas if he starts. Will he play enough minutes or will it not matter if goes off after 70 or so?
