With Everton having lost to the Saints on Saturday, Arsenal now have a chance to extend their lead over the toffees to 4 points and make a giant leap towards the champions league qualification. Gunners host Newcastle United, who are in a free fall mode ever since the departure of their influential midfielder Cabaye to PSG.
So, What are the options available for Wenger to field his strongest possible eleven against the Toons? We will discuss it here.
Szczesny
Even though Fabianski is doing good in cup games, Szczesny is still best suited for league games as he is good at dealing with long balls, ball distributing and shot-stopping.
Sagna
The French right-back may not be a gunner next season, but still he is one of the most consistent Arsenal player down the years. He will start in his usual right-back position.
Koscielny
Koscielny will take up his usual hard-tacking role in the Central defense. He will be given the tough job of neutralizing Remy’s pace and trickery.
Mertesacker
German giant will leader the defence and will look to dominate the Newcastle attackers both in the ground and in air.
Vermaelen
Vermaelen who missed the last game due to sickness is back again and we feel he should be given the green light to start ahead of Monreal. Vermaelen can help the defense during set pieces and also has enough attacking threat to make regular overlapping runs from the left.
Arteta
Even though Spaniard faces regular criticism, he is still an important player for the red and whites. When ever he plays well, the whole team plays well. He will be deployed as a deep lying playmaker who will also provide cover for the central defenders.
Ramsey
Arsenal’s player of the season is back with the bang, scoring and assisting in his first league start after injury. He will be the real key in winning the midfield battle against the likes of Cheick Tiote.
Ozil
Another player who came back strongly after injury. He will start from his favorite no 10 role behind the striker and will look to make those perfectly weighed key passes to his teammates.
Cazorla
Versatile Spaniard will start in the right wing. Since he is ambidextrous, he can cope up in both the sides and will also drift to central areas during the course of the game.
Podolski
In form player. Stats proved that he is one of the most lethal striker in the history of the premier league. Yes, he is 3rd in the all time list of premier league strikers sorted based on goal/time played ratio. Will start from left and if given room, he will punish Newcastle defenders with his left-footed thunderbolts.
Giroud
It doesn’t matter if the fans like him or not, he is still the best available option for the gunners. He will try to use his physical presence and lay off balls to the likes of Podolski and Ramsey.
