Arsenal Defeating Manchester City Could Be The Most Important Win In A Long Time For The Gunners…
Arsenal Eye Signing Of ‘El Clasico’ Pair To Boost Defence Next Season
Alexis Sanchez should return for the Gunners, and there could be an opportunity for new signing Gabriel Paulista to make his debut.
GK) David Ospina
The Columbian has looked solid since coming in for the out of favour Wojciech Szczesny. He should continue in his place.
RB) Hector Bellerin
Scored his first goal and impressed against Manchester City before the devastating derby loss. Will be interesting to see how he responds.
LB) Nacho Monreal
Although Kieran Gibbs has returned to fitness, his replacement has done enough to continue in the starting XI.
CB) Laurent Koscielny
The 29-year-old is a definite member of the team when fit.
CB) Per Mertesacker
Gabriel Paulista will have to wait to make his debut ahead of the towering World Cup winner.
CM) Francis Coquelin
The defensive midfielder has shown exactly what the Gunners have been missing in the middle of the park since breaking in to the first team.
CM) Aaron Ramsey
He may not be in good form, but Arsene Wenger likes to stick by his players and is likely to let him play through it.
CAM) Santi Cazorla
Even with Mesut Ozil no longer injured, the Spaniard had done enough before the Spurs defeat to keep his place in the team.
RW) Mesut Ozil
The German has been pushed out on to the wing by the form of Cazorla, but has been superb in a fluid formation.
LW) Alexis Sanchez
Wenger’s talisman will go straight back in to the team after a spell on the sidelines.
ST) Olivier Giroud
The 28-year-old will want to be much improved from Saturday if he wants to keep his place ahead of the returning Danny Welbeck.
