Video: Wenger abused by furious fans after defeat to Stoke
Jack Wilshere's recovery from his ankle injury is on schedule

4:45 pm

We're expecting Wenger to make a fair few changes in Istanbul, with qualification already secured.
Laurent Koscielny sat out the defeat to Stoke as a precaution and is unlikely to be risked.
The clash gives the likes of Lukas Podolski and Joel Campbell a chance to stake their claim, with a number of youngsters included in the matchday squad.

Here's John Cross' view...

The abuse of Wenger is a step too far. It really is shocking. Totally fair enough if fans want him gone and want a new manager. That’s their right.
Where some fans are pushing it too far is to abuse the greatest manager in the club’s history. Wenger may be losing his magic touch but if you think of what he’s done for Arsenal surely he deserves respect.
Arsenal fans crossed the line at Stoke station with their foul mouthed outbursts and he doesn’t deserve that sort of treatment.
Those so-called supporters don’t realise how lucky they are to have a manager who led the club to history breaking success, glorious silverware, fabulous football and also into a new stadium.

I wouldn’t dream of telling fans that they didn’t have the right to protest and call for change - but do it with dignity and respect. That’s the very least Wenger deserves.
Surely there has to come a time when Wenger maybe has enough. If the fans, who pay through the nose for tickets, have had enough then his position almost becomes untenable.
There’s no chance of anything happening during the season. And Wenger, in his own mind, signed for three years to manage until 2017. But does it reach a point when Wenger can’t take it anymore? Maybe we’re heading for that point.

Let's start with THAT shocking video from Saturday afternoon.
As Wenger boarded the train back to London, he was met with a tirade of abuse by disgruntled supporters after another Britannia disaster.
Wenger was told to "f*** off and leave" by some as others labelled him a "c***" with the shocking footage later emerging online.
Stoke raced into a three-goal lead during the clash before Arsenal delivered a fightback of sorts - but the defeat was the final straw for some.

Good afternoon ladies and gents.
Welcome to our LIVE coverage of Arsene Wenger's pre-Galatasaray press conference.
With the Gunners having already secured their spot in the knockout stages, you'd be forgiven for thinking there's nothing riding on this one. You'd also be wrong.
The top spot in Group D could be crucial with the likes of Real Madrid and Bayern waiting in the last-16 - and Arsenal's knockout record in recent seasons is far from convincing.
Saturday's dismal showing at Stoke led to a fans backlash towards Wenger with the pressure increasing on the long-serving Frenchman.
We'll have his thoughts on that, team selection and much more.
