CM: Santi Cazorla
The big choice for Wenger will be whether to start Cazorla in the middle with Ramsey wide-right at the expense of Walcott on the wing and Ramsey in his preferred central midfield role.
We think Wenger will go for the former option having trusted and used this formation to great effect during the later part of the season as it looks the Gunners most balanced in terms of both attack and defence.
RW: Aaron Ramsey
Ramsey has publicly declared he’s averse to his continual use on the right wing but is willing to play there as Arsene Wenger requires it.
And it looks like on Saturday, at least for the first half, Ramsey will start again on the wing but should not fret with some great performances from this role coming over the last few weeks of the season including goals against Burnley and Hull City.
The only negative is this formation resigns Theo Walcott to the bench after his hat-trick exploits next week but he will surely be a brilliant game-changer from the bench in the second half if needed.
