CM: Francis Coquelin
Despite all the demand and speculation, Arsenal did not buy a defensive midfielder in the summer transfer window, and therefore Coquelin is likely to be one of the first names on the team-sheet.
CM: Santi Cazorla

AMC: Mesut Ozil
Ozil missed the 1-0 victory over Newcastle United with a knee problem, but proved his fitness playing for Germany, and that is likely to mean match-winner Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain being dropped.
