5. 
Probably the least likely formation of the five considering Wenger’s reluctance to go two up top, but arguably the most suitable as it would allow Wilshere, Ozil, Sanchez and Ramsey to all play centrally.
Giroud’s link-up play, especially with his back to goal, around the penalty area is second to none in the Premier League and he would have several bodies with whom to combine in this narrow diamond.
The width would come from Bellerin and Gibbs, who have the insurance of Coquelin as cover to ensure that Arsenal are not hit on the break as they so often have been when committing men forward.
Formation five gets our vote. Which gets yours?
