It’s great shame that Bellerin and Cazorla are out.
Because rugged West Ham will give Arsenal a good test in today’s 5.30 kick-off.
And there is some good news: lucky Arsenal will not be facing the formidable Michail Antonio, who has become a regular goalscorer this season.
Antonio would be in my team. While Walcott & Oxlade wouldn’t be in my squad.
The Hammers are also without left back Aaron Cresswell and recently injured striker Diafra Sakho.
Arsenal, unbeaten in the Premier league since Liverpool stuffed them 4-3 at the Emirates, will need to perform properly to win this game.
A draw wouldn’t not impress me today.
Given his colossal wage bill, Wenger’s team is under-achieving. And it’s been under-achieving for a very long time.
Alexis Sanchez now carries Arsenal.
Chile’s Copa America winner is by far Wenger’s most important player.
