3) Koscielny back at the back after back injury
Both Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny missed Monday’s 0-0 draw with Liverpool. Illness is expected to keep the German out, but Wenger is hopeful that Koscielny will return after a back injury.
Arsenal managed to keep a clean sheet without their first-choice defensive pairing, more by luck than judgement, but will welcome back Koscielny with open arms after Calum Chambers’ shaky display.
