CM – Mathieu Flamini
We think away to Chelsea, Wenger will sensibly deploy two holding midfielders instead of just one. This means Flamini could be recalled to the starting lineup alongside Arteta.
CM – Mikel Arteta
The Spaniard will likely do less defensive work than Flamini at the base of midfield, but will be charged with recycling Arsenal’s possession and dictating the side’s tempo.
CAM – Santi Cazorla
With Mesut Ozil, Jack Wilshere and Aaron Ramsey all injured, Cazorla will likely be given the creative central licence he craves. He’ll probably be up against the domineering Nemanja Matic in Chelsea’s midfield, however.
