DC) Per Mertesacker
The big German is practically unbeatable in the air, but will have to do deal with the physical threat of Rickie Lambert up top.
DL) Kieran Gibbs
Gibbs and Nacho Monreal tussle for the left-back position at Arsenal, but the former has been regularly chosen instead of the Spanish international for most of the season, and we expect today to be no different.
MC) Mathieu Flamini
Flamini provides the side with the defensive platform that enables the team’s more attacking players to perform. He can expect a difficult battle against Morgan Schneiderlin and Adam Lallana, however.
