With the notoriously busy festive schedule rapidly approaching, which this year will see us playing QPR on Boxing Day and West Ham just 2 days later,a certain amount of squad rotation is inevitable.
Who would you want to see given a chance to impress and in which matches? I'd be tempted to make wholesale changes for the QPR game, leaving the core of the first team fully rested for the Hammers
Rotation

Depends on injury situation, but at the moment I cannot see much room for it.
It will mainly be among the attacking players.
I expect Alexis to be rested, Ox will probably sit a game out. Podolski and Campbell are the obvious squad players to use.
Then Monreal for Gibbs and/or Chambers.

Have we got any players close to suspension, btw? The cut off must be soon.

Only good thing is that we will be in London for both games. Less.traveling should keep the players fresher.
As for rotation, everyone knows Wenger doesn't do this.

I worry slightly for Sanchez over the Christmas period as he usually has a break then.
