Midfield
Flamini, Ramsey, Cazorla, Sanchez, Welbeck.
Mathieu Flamini and the red-hot Aaron Ramsey are the only real contenders for the central midfield positions with the likes of Wilshere, Arteta and Abou Diaby on the sidelines. The trip to Turkey was another tricky test of Ramsey’s ability to express himself in a midfield two, but the Welshman would need to step up in the physical Premier League amidst the absence of key names.
Alexis Sanchez should be selected in the No.10 role as his attacking influence is curbed on the wings while Danny Welbeck should start on the left. Santi Cazorla’s industry and trickery makes him a key player on the wing for Arsenal as he should look to whip in crosses to keep the big Olivier Giroud interested.

Olivier Giroud
Giroud scored a cracker against Manchester United on his return and his return has helped Alexis Sanchez drop deep and ignite the play with his pace and trickery. The Frenchman would look to feed on the service of Cazorla, Sanchez and Welbeck in the attacking threesome.
