Oxlade is available for this.
Ozil and Giroud likely to be back as well.
Ramsey and Gibbs less likely but not completely ruled out.
We've got Neil Swarbrick for this. Not bad, could have done a lot worse (see above mentioned) but he has a tendancy to be very reluctant to give out Yellow cards unless he absoutely has to. Might result in some physical scroting from Villa.
Giroud was only out of the last game because he was sick as opposed to injured so I 100% expect him to be in the line up Monday.
Ramsey and Gibbs can be on the bench which is fine because we have a number of in form midfielders and Monreal is more than competent in a game like this.
------------------Szczesny------------------
Sagna------Merkyl----------KOS-------Nacho
----------Arteta---------Wilshere------------
Gnabry------------Rosicky-------------Cazorla
---------------Olivier Giroud------------------
Subs: Flaps, Gibbs, Flamini, Ramsey, Chamberlain, Ozil, Podolski - Solid looking bench.
We need to exact revenge on these undesirables and what better way than to dish out one of our seasonal pasting on a pub team.
2-7.
