RW: Theo Walcott
The England international staked his claim for a starting spot up front with a great scoring run at the end of last season, and he may be handed more opportunities to play through the middle in the upcoming campaign, but his most likely place in the starting lineup is still the right flank.
LW: Jack Wilshere
There is not enough depth in Arsenal’s touring party for them to go with a completely different XI that could compete with Everton, so at least one player from the Singapore XI match will be seen again. Wilshere was withdrawn early as he impressed in a No. 10 role, but might be shifted out to the wing to accommodate Ozil.
ST: Olivier Giroud
The Frenchman has serious competition for his starting spot following the impressive displays of Walcott in the final month of the season, but he is the incumbent and will get first dig in pre-season.
