Arsene Wenger can’t call on Aaron Ramsey for Saturday’s game against Chelsea - but he still has a myriad of midfield options at his disposal.
One of those is Granit Xhaka, scorer of back-to-back long-range goals against Hull City and Nottingham Forest.
At his press conference on Friday, the boss was asked whether Granit has done enough to start the Chelsea game.
“We had a good game at Hull and we had a good game at Nottingham Forest,” replied Wenger. “I believe that everybody at the moment deserves to start the game and be in the squad, so I will decide that today [Friday].
“[The players have responded] very well [to the competition]. It’s always difficult to pick my team because everybody is doing well, we have seen that again against Nottingham Forest so it’s positive.
“We have a balanced, mature squad where there is a fight for every single position.”
Look out for more polls throughout the season!
