LB: Nacho Monreal
Gibbs was brought in against Sunderland more out of need to give him game time rather than merit so Monreal will likely reclaim his starting spot here and at Wembley.
CM: Jack Wilshere
Wilshere comes back to full fitness just at the right time as Santi Cazorla and Francis Coquelin have looked as if they need a rest.
The England international returned to the the starting fold on Wednesday against Sunderland and was throwing himself about with typical gusto – although you could say that’s why he is so injury prone – and having a shot or two.
It certainly wasn’t his best game bu,t after such an extended period of time out, it will be games like this that get him back to top form and scrape off that rust.
