Who starts on Sat?

I would play with Rosicky in midfield.

The formation will be 4-1-4-1. That has been the formation from day one this season. Its just in the last few weeks/month it has been executed slightly better with an all round better focus on defending, a more settled back four, a calming presence in goal, and a mobile DM with a passion for the tackle and some real discipline.

I too am sceptical in regard to Alexis' availability. Ramsey taken off against Gala as a precaution due to a strain. Out for a month. Welbeck picks up a slight strain against West Ham. Out for five weeks. Diaby has a slight groin strain. RIP.

The only thing Wenger confirmed was that Alexis was "not very close" to playing on Sunday. If he is available aces, if not I still think we have enough to do them.

If Sanchez is available, I think Walcott will drop out because Wenger loves Ozil. Plus I think with Welbeck and Walcott on the bench, we have a real threat with pace and power to bring on if we find ourselves losing.

Bringing Ozil on off the bench doesn't have much impact for me.

Rosicky should be nowhere near the starting line-up.

I would pick Ozil over Walcott, physically he is in better shape and has more match fitness under his belt. But if Welbeck is fit I would start him over either. And if Ox is fit I'd start him over all 3.

Ozil to start he's playing well. Walcott is a cracking impact substitute to have far better than I imagine Ozil would be

Coq's got to be odds on for a red card. It's coming sooner rather than later, and the NLD seems like an obvious time.

I'd imagine Alexis will only be fit enough for the bench, given what our record is like and that he didn't even make the squad on Sunday. If he is fit though I'd start with Ozil, since Walcott still seems a little short of full fitness - he's got his pace and awareness back, but still tailed off before he came off at the weekend - should be fine off the bench though.

I'd start with Ozil and Akpom. Giroud, Walcott and Rosicky/ Alexis ( if fit ) to come on in the 2nd half to add another 3 or 4 goals.

Akpom? What a joke.
