Defenders:
As far as the defenders are concerned, it should be a direct choice for Wenger. All of his first choice center backs and fullbacks are fit and ready. While Koscielny and Mertesacker will take center stage, Sagna might play his last match as a Gunner with rumours linking him with Manchester City. At left back it should be English star, Kieran Gibbs. Captain Thomas Vermaelen who has returned from a problem with his knee is still a doubt for this one.
Midfielders:
The Arsenal midfield steam rolled past Hull City at the KC Stadium last month in a 3-0 win in the league and should be confident of recreating that performance at Wembley. Wenger, surprisingly has a whole lot of players to select from except for Oxlade-Chamberlain, the entire midfield is available.
However, going by logics, it should be Arteta to team up with Ramsey in the middle while Mesut Ozil should take his customary No.10 role behind Giroud. On the wings, Cazorla, Podolski, Rosicky and even Wilshere will fight for a starting berth and it should be interesting to see Wenger’s choice. The most likely candidates to start will be Podolski on the left, and Cazorla on the right with the latter interchanging positions with Mesut Ozil often.
Although Wilshere returned to the bench and played a good part of 30 minutes in the second half against Norwich, he should again be starting from the bench. The likes Of Flamini, Rosicky, Diaby will be on the bench as well.
Forward:
Olivier Giroud is the clear favourite here.
