Hope this is 4-42 and not Welbeck on the wing.

I think Welbz will certainly be asked to do a job wide when we're without the ball. However I can see Alexis and Santi going wide when we're attacking with Welbeck just off Giroud and giving us more options in the box.

I feel it's an exciting line-up.

You knew he would drop the Ox and put Welbeck on the wing. Was almost guaranteed Giroud would walk straight back into the 1st 11.

OX need to get rested to be honest he played alot of football in last few weeks he is been on form so no need him to torn his hamstring by overplaying him. Welbeck Giroud and Sanchez is enough to put some goals in this Westbrom team.

Interesting line-up and we have got some good height for corners with Giroud and Bosscielny back in the team.

Ox didn't need to be dropped though, in all honesty.

Still, I actually think its a decent line-up.

Danny has been the one struggling this week so why not rest him? Ox has been our best attacking player with Sanchez these past few weeks. Giroud and Danny will be forced into the starting 11 from now on with Ox dropping back to depth duties.

Koz back, Gibbs & The Ox rested-well, we have to rotate. Shame The Ox is not playing but he can be used as an impact sub if needed and we have another big game on Wednesday. When will Alexis get a rest?

Away from home I don't think it'll be a 4-4-2, more a 4-2-3-1 with Alexis & Danny out wide. Or the now much vaunted 4-1-4-1. There are goals in our front 3 just not as much pace as before. Hopefully Giroud slips back in seamlessly. He really must be chomping at the bit as he's not really played this season.

Could he playing Monreal instead of Gibbs due to the former's crossing ability?

Really looking forward to this now!

Was pretty criminal to leave Sanchez on midweek.

Typically poor management of substitutes. Should have subbed him off after 60-70 mins if he can't drop him then at least take him off when the game is won and given Campbell more minutes. Wenger obviously has very different ideas on how subs should be used.

Maybe Danny offers more in terms of workrate and helping out in defense-also he adds height and size.

Giroud hasn't played that much this season yet still has 3 goals. All three of them have been pretty good too. His one vs City in the community shield, his header vs Everton and his goal vs United last week. All big games too..... hmmmm.....

Good to see Koscielny back, don't win this and we might as well give up now.

Re: Premier League: WBA vs Arsenal-29/11/14, 12:45, BT Sport

Wenger says Welbeck will play more on the flank today. That's.......kinda annoying. Should be more 4-4-2 but hey ho.

This was always going to happen when Giroud came back.

Unless Chamberlain is tired and needs a rest, it's shocking that he's not starting this. Along with Alexis he's been our best player this season, lad is on the verge of exploding, give him minutes for **** sake.

Debuchy, Arteta, Özil, Walcott and Wilshere to come into that match day squad.

Give up on what?

Win or lose top 4 is our aim at this point, and win or lose you can rest assured we'll be there in the end.

I'm sure Gibbs will be back on Wednesday but with Gibbs being so injury prone maybe Wenger decided to give him a breather today.

I think we all are as alongside Alexis he's been our most exciting player this season. However, maybe this is just rotation and horses for courses. I'm sure The Ox will be playing against Southampton.
