DM) Mathieu Flamini
Mikel Arteta is available once again following his latest injury, but Arsene Wenger may not want to rush him back. The Frenchman is likely to start over his Spanish teammate.
CM) Jack Wilshere
Wilshere was superb for England in both their recent international games, and Arsene Wenger will be hoping his form for the national side will carry over to club level. He faces competition from Aaron Ramsey, but the Welshman was complaining about a lack of fitness following Wales’ clash with Belgium last week.
CAM) Santi Cazorla
The Spaniard has become a guaranteed starter during Mesut Ozil’s absence, but as of yet he has been unable to capitalise on the opportunity. Unless Wenger chooses to play both Wilshere and Ramsey then Cazorla will start either in the hole or on the left.
