Arsenal fans name shocking line up to face Chelsea in Europa League final

Carl Jenkinson has been tipped to start in the Europa League final for Arsenal against Chelsea by readers of football.london .

Fans were asked to name the line up they wanted to see and selected Petr Cech in goal ahead of Bernd Leno, despite the 37-year-old having confirmed he will rejoin the Blues this summer.

Unai Emery has also been encouraged to name Alex Iwobi alongside Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang up front.

In midfield, Mesut Ozil is the peoples' choice with support from Granit Xhaka and Lucas Torreira.

However, the back four features some surprises.

Sead Kolasinac gets the nod at left-back with Laurent Koscielny at centre-back. So far, so good.

At right-back, mifielder Ainsley Maitland-Niles was chosen to continue doing a job out wide.

Jenkinson, a natural in that position, was selected to partner Koscielny in the middle of the defence!

Here is how readers called for Arsenal to line up against Chelsea.
