The Welsh midfielder comes in for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who drops to the bench, in the only change from the side who beat Newcastle last week.

Andre Santos is once again named on the bench for the Gunners as he continues his return from injury.

If Ramsey struggles to emulate Rosicky's performances... And Rosicky can't surely keep up the energy levels of AOC on the left.....

Then Arsene has really opened himself up to criticism here if anything goes wrong.

Yeah but on the XI they've put AOC in there. Jesus calm down about the team selection, before the NLD everyone was having nervous breakdowns about the XI and look what happened.

ssn says Ramsey and Rosicky start

8bit we went into the NLD out of sorts, tired, unmotivated so something had to give.

Now we're on a good run and confidence is high, why change a winning formula?

Let's just see how it pans out guys.

Ramsey must be one fresh cookie, let's see what he can do. Don't agree with Ros on the wing though.

Rosicky has been amazing in the middle and wenger moves him to the wing very very strange

Ramsey just slows our play down to much, he needs to learn to move the ball quicker.

Lee Mason is ref.

lee mason is a special person

Ramsey>Rosicky

If Ramsey scores....

There could be all sorts of reasons for the change.

I'm personally hoping it's NOT just a show of faith in Ramsey at the expense of a winning formula...

At the end of the day, Wenger has been doing this since before some of us were born and he's been training them for the last 10 days...

But if after 45 minutes we've seen Ramsey floundering again, slowing down our attacks and losing the ball, and we've seen Rosicky struggling to make an impact from the wings.... then I WILL be asking questions

Maybe he'll go 4-4-2, no? ok :/

nobody was saying that at the time... everyone said this team selection is ridiculous and we're gonna get battered and slating Wenger before the game. I always think that's a but silly, at least watch the game and see what happens first.

Ramsey in midfield and replaces Rosicky in his position, then Rosicky moves to AOC's position and AOC is moved to the bench? What is Wenger thinking? Has he been playing too much Football Manager?

Ramsey had better put in a good performance. We're long overdue one from him.
