Interesting to see if Wenger uses a counter-attacking trident against Barca.
I'd start with Sanchez, Walcott and Welbeck. Fastest attacking trio in world football, bar none; but also in Welbeck and Sanchez, solid wide defensive support for the two fullbacks, Bellerin and Monreal.
I'd replace Walcott with Giroud at the 2/3rds mark to do something completely different. Attack Barca's lack of height.
Ramsey/Wilshire and Ozil in the middle. Cazorla still in rehab by then.
They need one transfer. A tallish, but nimble, defensive midfielder. Height for corners. Speed to assist the defence against the scariest attack in football history. Don't know who. Coquelin will still be injured by the time we play them.
I would use Gabriel and Koscielny at the heart of the defence as speed is critical and Mertesacker doesn't have it. Cech in goal, of course.
Might nick it. Who knows.
