AMR: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
This is a big season for the England international as he aims to earn a regular place. He has impressed in pre-season, with cracking goals against Lyon and Chelsea, and deserves a run in the side.
AML: Mesut Ozil
Ozil would prefer to play centrally, but injuries to Jack Wilshere and Danny Welbeck, as well as Alexis Sanchez’s unavailability, mean that he will have to do his best to influence the game from the left.
ST: Olivier Giroud
Theo Walcott started as the lone striker in the Community Shield, but did not show enough intent to engage the opposition’s centre-backs as Olivier Giroud always does. Arsenal fans will hope that Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema, heavily linked with the Gunners, will be fulfilling this role in future weeks.
