Glad to see Coquelin coming back for this match. We've been absolutely shit in the middle since his injury ;-;

Coquelin and Rosicky in the middle. Sick note is the closest player we have to Santi in style and always brings life back to the middle after about of disjointed madness.
We have an almost fully fit squad! *Knocks on wood*
Barring any new major injuries, there is absolutely NO excuse for us to fold and die in the title race or the FA Cup. I am not counting the CL because we will lose that for sure.
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..

Fully fit but Rosicky hasn't played in ages and is 35, not sure we should expect much from him. Wilshere will come back next month but you know how fragile he is. Arteta is just as bad now. Hopefully Coq can see it through to the end of the season and Elmo shoud get a game this weekend. Just a shame we have three useless players used out wide too - Theo/Ox and Wellbeck, when he's back.
Be very interesting to see if Elmo gets a game. Maybe Coq on for 45?
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
The only players who should need little bit rest are probably Ramsey and Bellerin.
Bif had last week off. Ozil had an international break off, plus a rest in the last round and a week off again when he missed the Stoke game.
If anything, this is a good game to get some players back in the groove again after a dodgy few weeks. Alexis getting a full game would be beneficial and if most of the squad are fit, they need to get back some semblance of coherence after such disjointed midfield and wing play recently.
I'd go with:
Ospina
Chambers
Gabriel
Koscielny
Gibbs
Coquelin
Elneny
Ozil/Rosicky
Oxlade/Campbell
Walcunt
Alexis
And then maybe give Ozil, Coq and Alexis the last 20 off if the game is won.
we are at home, should be fairly comfortable but Burnley should be high on confidence as they are doing well in the Championship.
Give the new guy a start to see how he does, there is a game midweek though so I would keep Alexis and Ozil on the bench. Give Ramsey a rest but play Cech as I still want us to go through in the cup.
2-0
4-1

Would play the team MS suggested, Alexis needs game time, Feo needs to play another game to try get his shit form out of the way
