Midfield:
One of the problem areas for the Gunners last season was in defensive midfield, an area which still hasn’t been addressed by Wenger, which will mean that captain Mikel Arteta will once again be given the responsibility of sitting deep and helping out the defence. In front of him, Aaron Ramsey, who has started this season just like he did last time around and the impressive Jack Wilshere look set to feature as the remaining members of the three-man midfield.
Strike force:
Up front, Olivier Giroud looks to have overcome his fitness concerns and will likely get the nod over Yaya Sanogo, who started against City and had an impressive pre-season. On right side, Alexis Sanchez looks set to make his League debut after his impressive start in the Community Shield, while on the left, Santi Cazorla looks set to make the most of the absence of Özil and start yet again. The attack looks stronger than usual and shouldn’t have too many problems breaching the Palace defence and starting their Premier League campaign with a win.
