I don't know why Rosicky isn't on the bench, doubt Wenger left him out, suspect he probably got a knock, or the flu which is going around.
Arsenal team: Szczesny, Sagna, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Gibbs, Diaby, Wilshere, Cazorla, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Podolski, Walcott Subs: Mannone, Jenkinson, Santos, Mertesacker, Ramsey, Coquelin, Giroud
Man City: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Nastasic, Clichy, Javi Garcia, Barry, Milner, Silva, Tevez, Dzeko. Subs: Pantilimon, Lescott, Sinclair, Kolarov, Suarez, Rekik, Balotelli.
Interesting to see Diaby straight back in the side. Could be an inspired move. Where's Arteta though? Feel sorry for Rosicky though, he's been nothing but class when he has played.
