CM – Mathieu Flamini
Skipper Mikel Arteta is another absent from the first team at the moment and although it will be touch and go to see if the 32-year-old is fit, we’ve opted for Flamini to be on the safe side.
CM – Jack Wilshere
Alongside the Frenchman is a midfielder who has started the campaign very promisingly and with Aaron Ramsey out much will be expected of Wilshere going forward.
RM – Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
This England international has appeared in every game for the North London outfit so far and with Mesut Ozil out for three months the 20-year-old should get a starting role.
CAM – Santi Cazorla
One positive of Ozil’s knee injury is that this Spain international will be able to revert back to his usual No.10 role where he has been so creative in the past.
LM – Alexis Sanchez
The workmanlike attitude of Sanchez makes the South American a very useful asset both with and without the ball and many will be looking to him for inspiration without Ozil and Ramsey available.
