Nothing to do with Tommy love. Just feel that we may as well take advantage of his good form before he breaks down again. Also could your 1 in 3 figure be due to lack of regular play? Apart from Solskjaer, i don't know any player that has maintained decent levels of performance without regular play.
Alexis has hamstring troubles? 🙁 As for Rosicky - he has a 6-8 game brilliant streak in him, enough to be useful while we're waiting for Özil and Ramsey to get fully back up to speed.
Honestly, I am surprised Alexis has gone this long without picking up an injury.

He has saved many people from completely losing the plot.. Before every game people were suggesting him to be rested, but Wenger, the über-troll wasn't having that. 😆
Makes you wonder what the point was of chucking him on against Brighton and fucking Hove Albion, doesn't it?
We couldn't afford to rest him earlier on this season given our injury pile up, at least now we have Theo, Özil, Giroud and Ramsey available again.
Yeah, ironically he got injured after he was, sort of, rested.. But, the guy wants to play every minute, and it's hard to blame him after his time at Barca, where he didn't play enough.
He's an animal, mad for football, I imagine he's miserable on the bench. Best to leave him out of the match day squad completely if we want to rest him.

Went lurking and stole this page "[size=x-small]Chelsea and Man Utd (12 each) are the only visiting team to have earned more points at the Emirates Stadium than Aston Villa (11) in the Barclays Premier League (W3 D2 L3)."[/size] http://www.villatalk.com/index.php/topic/12618-pre-match-thread/page-3
--------- Ospina Hector Per Kos Nacho ----------- Coq ------- Santi Ramsey Theo --------------- Özil --------- Giroud
Reckon we're going with this. Should be absolutely hammering them. Ramsey needs a goal.
My first ever post here.
Arsenal are in good nick and should be beating Villa. 2-0 is my call.
With regard to the line-up, I'd say:
Ospina
Bellerin-Mertesacker-Gabriel(If Kos the boss is injured)- Monreal
Le Coq - Ramsey
Theo - Santi - Rosicky
Giroud

Rest Alexis. It's important he's fresh so he can tear chunks into that sorry ass spurs defence
This week I'd go
----------Ospina Bellerin-Per-Kos-Nacho -----Ramsey-Coq Walcott--Caz---Ozil ----------Giroud
@Alexis_Sanchez Home ... ⚽ Mi Casa
He's playing? rumorzes?
never mind,thought it was today.
I don't think he'll play, Wenger said it was unlikely that he'd risk him.
Mezzy Oz will play
Win this and we're back in the title race!
Not worth risking Alexis if there is a hint of injury. Ozil needs to come in and earn his duckets, else use Ox-Walcott on the wings. The options exist. And leave Sanchez at home so the others don't laze about hoping that he'll bail them out. @ Flobaba, 4th is not a title
But it's like a trophy!
