Mesut Ozil
Ozil has been criticised recently for some below par performances, and he will be desperate to prove his doubters wrong this evening. In the Premier League so far, he’s assisted eight goals this term.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
The flying winger was one of the few Arsenal to players to emerge with any credit from the mauling at Liverpool. The Ox kept on running and should retain his place against United.
Santi Cazorla
Cazorla should start from the left, but will be given the licence to drift infield and link up with Arsenal’s other attacking midfielders. He’s brilliantly two footed, although may have to help out defensively with Juan Mata likely to start on United’s right flank.
Olivier Giroud
Giroud had a shocker against the Reds, but with only Nicklas Bendtner as a viable replacement option, Wenger has little choice but to choose him up top once more.
