It's all totally academic, as Wenger will play Sanchez and Ozil no matter what you or I think

Those are the two players for me, most in need of a rest

There is a difference between rotating and slotting players into the team because you've burnout the others.

I hope we score more goals than the other guys.

Alexis just scored two over the weekend. When he starts showing signs of fatigue, give him a rest, but for now, Wenger just has to be smarter with his subs and take one or two off earlier when we look comfortable.

Perhaps i just don't see the point when we have an opportunity to play Giroud back into form, and we've seen with Lucas Perez that it just takes one mis timed tackle and he could be out for a number of matches. Now obviously you risk that every time you send a player out onto the field, but in this case i think it's an unnecessary one.

I think we can, if we put the ball in their net more times than they put it in ours.

Exactly. We could just as easily lose Giroud tonight to such a challenge.

Giroud is needed far less for the game against Spurs than Sanchez and is less vital to our success overall

We can't creep around the place worrying that players will get injured. That's what the squad if for. If we get unlucky then there are players who can step in. In the meantime, let's put some more pressure on PSG by putting a strong team out there that can blow Ludo away early and then hit the bench if they need to. Let's not give our main opponents in this group a sniff. 6 more goals please. That'll force them to beat us when we meet - provided we don't get all complacent against Basle. These are the key games coming up now, the ones we must win to avoid the last 16 groundhog event.

Either of them. Someone picking up an injury because they've been kicked is something we can't do anything about. We could rest Sanchez tonight, come up short for the result but still lose Sanchez against Spurs or in training but now be at risk of losing the top spot in the CL.

Sanchez is on red hot form. He doesn't need a rest.

And he'd be pissed if he got a rest. that's the sort of player he is. The exact sort we need on the pitch as often as possible.
