Szczesny
Sagna - Mertesacker - Koscielny - Monreal
Arteta - Ramsey
Cazorla - Ozil - Podolski
Giroud

No need to change a winning formation. Cazorla and Giroud's performances against West Ham and Hull were impressive and they deserve a continued run in the side. Podolski is undroppable right now but seeing as he's scored four goals in two matches on the left side I don't see why we should mix things up and play him up top on his own. Let Giroud do the dirty work and give Podolski the freedom to drift into the box with less attention to score again.

Literally no point in experimenting so close to the finish line with everton breathing down our necks on 1 point.

May as well save that for pre season.

Want to see how many goals Podolsk8 can rack up by the end of the season. He's on 12 from 23 in all competitions this year, which includes 9 PL goals. Without Walcott, we have missed having a goalscoing threat on the wing.

Next season I'd kill to see Walcott+Podolski+striker all up front.

Technically the same lineup against Hull.
Maybe Ox in for Santi or Poldi or Arteta.

Szczesny
Sagna Mertesacker Koscielny Gibbs
Ramsey Flamini
Chamberlain Ozil Podolski
Giroud

Give Arteta a rest FFS, why is he always guaranteed 90 minutes?

Pisses me off that Wenger has essentially made it so he can't be dropped.

My point is he's been a nailed on starter and guaranteed 90 minutes regardless of how poor/fatigued he's looked this season.

I prefer Flamini when we play top opposition, because he will tackle their creative players and make life difficult for them, whereas Arteta just plays possession.

Maybe, but I think his attitude helps the side. He is a true defensive midfielder, and while he's not as talented as Arteta, he makes it more difficult for the opposition to score.

At least Flamini has legs and wouldn't have been overran like Arteta was against Liverpool, Chelsea, and Everton.

He can't cope with the intensity of top level games.
