Line up vs Chelsea

GK: Szczesny, Fabianski, Mannone - Barring some unfortunate accident before then, Szczesny is a dead-cert to start, as he has done all our league games this season, with Fabianski on the bench.

2 CBs: Mertesacker, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Djourou, Squillaci, Miquel - I think this all depends on if Vermaelen is fit enough (stamina and injury-wise) to play against a physical side like Chelsea. If he is not, then Mertesacker and Koscielny will continue. If he is and Wenger wants to start him, then I think he will line-up alongside Mertesacker.

RB: Djourou, Jenkinson, Koscielny - Although AW has said Jenkinson might make it, I doubt he will start with little training against Chelsea. This position also depends on whether Vermaelen plays or not. If he does, then I think the more mobile Koscielny will start, while if Vermaelen doesn't then Djourou will continue at RB.

LB: Santos, Miquel - With Gibbs out injured, Santos will start. No question.

3 CMs: Song, Arteta, Ramsey, Rosicky, Frimpong, Coquelin, Benayoun, Arshavin - I think that we will definitely see Arteta and Song starting, as they have played well. The third slot all depends on tactics. Do we play a more attacking Arshavin there, or do we go more defensive with Ramsey or Rosicky. I think that Ramsey would be the best bet, as he still defends when needed, while Arshavin doesn't, and can play the killer pass if necessary as well. Rosicky looks good on the ball, but he seems to pass it to players rather than through balls into space.

RW/LW: Walcott, Gervinho, Arshavin, Benayoun, Chamberlain, Miyaichi - I think we will see a repeat of previous matches, with Walcott and Gervinho on the flanks, as Gervinho has played well recently and Walcott is always dangerous against a more attacking team like Chelsea. Arshavin could start after his impressive CC game, but I doubt it.

ST: v.Persie, Chamakh, Park - Now that he's had his rest, I don't think theres any way van Persie won't start. I would like Park on the bench in front of Chamakh if we opt with 1 spare ST, as he played well in the CC while Chamakh was terrible vs Stoke.

My Predicted Line-Up

-----------------Szczesny------------------
--Djourou--Koscielny--Mertesacker--Santos--
-------------------Song--------------------
-----------Ramsey-------Arteta-------------
-Waloctt---------------------------Gervinho-
-----------------v.Persie--------------------

Fabianski, Vermaelen, Frimpong, Rosicky, Benayoun, Arshavin, Park.

I don't think Vermaelen will be risked from the start and Arshavin will also start from the bench.
