Gave our all last night, we need to rotate a bit to make sure legs are fresh enough for a fully rested w ham.

This is another huge hurdle to negotiate, even if our record against them is very good.

We've got to make this happen, keep the pressure on and wait for more slip ups from chelsea / city.

Based Wenger please put Theo in for this game.

Ospina
Chambers Mertesacker Koscielny Monreal
Coquelin Ramsey
Sanchez
Walcott - Giroud - Welbeck

Sanchez played as a 10 before and was amazing really

My team. Maybe Mertesacker for Gabriel and Cazorla for Ramsey.

Need to rotate for this so we have fresh legs for monaco

I echo what everyone else has said already in that we need to rotate with Monaco around the corner but by doing that I can see us dropping points here especially after the effort we put in against United. Hope the players aren't still in celebration mode when we meet the Hammers but hoping to see something like:



*Would have liked to have given Coquelin a break here but we don't have other options unless Bielik is ready to start
*Would start Gibbs here and rest Monreal for Monaco as he's not bad going forward and is intelligent enough to realize when to stay back in case of a counter.
*Would rest Sanchez and Santi
*Ramsey starting against Monaco should be dependent on how he performs in this game
*This game is as good as any to start Theo imo and if he does start I'd start Chambers behind him and give Bellerin a break. If Theo doesn't start here then I will definitely think somethings up

Theo is in everyone's lineup but going by the latest trend looks like he will not start.

Will Ox be available?

I'd go for this as Bellerins height could get exposed and he's due and rest.

oooooooooospinaaaaaaaaaaaa

I'd rest one of Ozil or Cazorla, they've both been playing a lot of minutes recently. You'd think Walcott is coming in for this, but who the hell knows? Could possibly see Rosicky starting.

Ospina

Bellerin - BFG - Koscielny - Monreal

Coquelin - Rambo

Welbeck - Ozil - Alexis

Giroud

Think rosicky is injured iirc. Agree with the sanchez / cazorla rest idea, although I'd try squeeze it in against lower opposition.

Rosicky is ill apparently.
