    In the pre-match press conference today Wenger has said Arteta is now fit again and the club hopes he will be available now for the rest of the season rather than in and out wth injury. Sanchez not eady for this game but is close, so hopefully that means he is back for our difficult string of league games coming up.

    He also said Rosicky is not far from fitness and welbeck is 3-4 weeks away still.

    Fingers crossed we will actually have some depth in the squad and the ability to rotate soon!

    I'm guessing Oxo and Iwobi as attacking midfielders.
    But could also be a 442 with Iwobi and Campbell on the wings.

    Guessing Ospina picked up a late injury or a transfer bid as Wenger had said he would start this game.

    Well I'm glad Ozil and Monreal are getting a break at least.

    Oxo will be CM with Chambers, standard.

    Campbell to play withdrawn behind Giroud in the Cazorzil role?

    We look good going forward on the ball in midfield and attack but very suspect in defence
