CM – Aaron Ramsey
This Welshman will be another welcome return having missed much of the recent outings for the North Londoners due to injury and with Jack Wilshere suspended the attacking flair of Ramsey will be needed.
CM – Mikel Arteta
Wilshere is out so the captain should return in midfield and will be required to be the defensive balance in the middle, but the 32-year-old will widely be considered as a weak link.
RM – Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
It would be the 20-year-old’s 10th league appearance should he play – which he more than likely will do with Theo Walcott’s recovery meaning the 25-year-old is only fit enough to make the bench.
CAM – Santi Cazorla
Mesut Ozil is out for three months with a knee injury and as a result Cazorla gets to play in his preferred No.10 spot, a role in which the Spain international can show his true flair.
LM – Alexis Sanchez
Since making a £35m summer switch from FC Barcelona this forward has been gradually improving and could be the catalyst in a victory for Wenger’s men.
