Flamini suspended after picking up a yellow against Everton.

Fabianski is the cup goalkeeper,Chesny needs a long rest.

I don't think Wenger will change it too much. Can't see Kallstrom starting or Jenks. Fabianski should start in goal as his recent permances have earnt it....out the door or not.

Take Pod out of your probable team. Move Santi left and have Ox on the right. That would be my team.

That front 4 would be devastating on the counter attack too. All players that are straight to the point as opposed to that frustrating patient style that get us nothing anymore

My team would be:
-------------Fabianksi
Jenkinson-Mertesacker-Koscielny-Gibbs
------------Kallstrom--Ramsey
Gnabry-------Cazorla---------Chamberlain
---------------Sanogo

I'd really love to see us with pace down both flanks.

I would go for...

------------- Szczesny-------------
Sags------Per-----Kos/LK----Gibbs/NM
------------Ramsey-----Arteta------------
Chamberlain----Podolski-----Gnabry
-----------------Sanogo-----------------

Absolutely no chance of it.

Podolski, for me, was at his best in the support striker role. Having a work horse like Sanogo directly in front of him would hopefully create space for Podolski to get into shooting positions.
Pace and energy down the wings.
Wouldn't start both KK and Rambo, big risk given their lack of games. Last thing we want is to have two forced subs early doors, so risk one but not both.

^^^^^
I will go with that.

Rumours that Kallstrom is in line for a start. If Flamini is out then I suppose Arteta can come in which is a blow but this gives more reason for Kallstrom to start because Arteta if left isolated alongside Ramsey will be a tragedy.

Ox & Pod should be on both wings so we can get more crosses in and goal threat we never trouble full backs anymore because all the player want to interchange inside. If Ramsey played deep then I'd put Rosicky in the hole over Santi as he's more suited to the big occasion.

Arteta needs a rest. I wouldn't oppose Kallstrom and Ramsey. A change is as good as the rest.
Although AW rarely changes things right?!

KK and Aaron have played about 40 minutes between them this year, would be a massive risk to throw them in together in a Wembley semi final against a high intensity Wigan midfield.

Like your team but not sure about Pod in the hole if space on his left side is cut off he'll be pretty useless there he's better at shooting from angles and getting into wide spots in the box, he also lacks creativity which you need in the hole. I think that is Ramsey's future best position and his fitness will allow us to press high.

I'd keep my team with Arteta in for Flamini (as he's suspended). I like Gnabry but we'll need Pods goal threat I think Gnabry will be a useful impact player though

To start Santi or Poldi won't make a difference. A lot of people said Poldi is $hitte but Santi is not any better recently. They are both in bad form.
However, our dear old man will start one of them (or even both), see if he proves me wrong this time.

I want to see some speed and heart from this team against Wigan.

Gnabry - Rozza - Ox
Sanogo

Let Santi and Poldi as the impact subs.

Part of the reason Cazorla's in bad form is because he does not have runners around him; it's the same reason why Ozil has been underperforming.
Put Gnabry and Chamberlain either side of him, and I'm sure Cazorla will do well.

Poldi only suffers when the midfield is filled with creative midfielders he tries to get involved in the possession stuff but that's not his game but when he is 1 of 2 wingers (Him & Theo last season) he's a lot more effective especially on the break (see West Ham home)

1 creative player central with Poldi and Ox either side would benefit our style a lot more, Wenger never plays to our most effective players' strengths, even the statue Giroud is looking worse than he naturally is because he's isolated. What the hell is he going to do when the balls played to him with no support?

The amount of creative players behind our forward is our biggest problem and Arsene must let this go.

I don't know and don't think this is our creative midfield's problem. To point out the obvious, to have midfielders like us and then have a striker like Giroud just does not makes sense. Their styles just do not match, not saying who is better who is not here. Their styles just do not match.

Giroud does not deserve to start. I actually reckon he will be dropped. Sanogo scored a legit goal against everton too
