Against a team that has looked poor in the main this season, and were awful last weekend, 3 points is a must.
Santi Cazorla looks likely to miss the game. With Granit Xhaka banned it looks like Mo Elneny will partner Coquelin - although there are other options such as moving Iwobi to CM to accomodate Ox on the left, or using Ox there himself.
Rest of the team should be as expected, with Cech coming back in goal, Monreal at left back and the rest unchanged.
Jon Moss seems to have been dropped this week after sending Xhaka off. But our luck in refs doesn't improve - Mike Dean has been given this one

Think it'll be a boring ass game, they'll sit back, we'll struggle.
We'll be vulnerable in the air though.

We will win one way or another. You know, behind the media hype surrounding the "new generation" of managers Pep, Klopp and Poch, along with Spurs unbeaten run of draws and Jose's mind games, Arsenal are quietly stringing the wins together under the radar.

At least Chambers cannot play.

We'll struggle without Santi. Elneny/Coq midfield isn't very inspiring. Could be one of those games where we regret loaning out Jack

Santi will be a loss. Elneny just runs around, making no tackles, and playing sideways passes.
Santi loss will disrupt our flow. Maybe we should stick Iwobi in there

Might be a good game to rest Santi even if he is fit. We need to make sure he doesnt sustain a longer term injury from pushing him too much.
