I think it's too soon for him. He just returned from injury and played the full 90 yesterday. He looked like he was running on fumes towards the end. There's no way he can start twice in four days.

Good point. It depends on Perez' fitness of course.

Ramsey signaling he wanted to get subbed off against Basel makes me suspect he at least won't start this one. This worries me! We could desperately need Ramsey to find some good form rather than another period out with injury.

Forget Ramsey, Coquelin or any other player.
Gabriel at RB is the most important decision.
The man does not cross the halfway line but can defend his position.
I like Jenks as a person but you are not a RB if you cannot defend.

Other than the obvious changes to the back line, I'd love too see the same team that played yesterday.

Cech

Gabby Musti Kos Gibbo 

Ramsey Xhaka

Perez Özil Chambo

Sánchez 

Yeah I'd go with that too

I think I might still be a bit biased as I wasn't really convinced by him as our attacking signing but I don't think it would be strange at all. Even with his hattrick (and fair play to him for scoring one) I think his link up play and combination with others was and still is far from great and considering our leage form and all, I wouldn't change the team from the one that won the West Ham game. Wenger doesn't do it too anyway.

Cech - Gabriel - Mustafi - Koscielny - Monreal - Coquelin - Xhaka - Walcott - Özil - Camberlain - Sanchez

A safe bet.

---------Giroud
OX-------Ozil------Theo
------Xhaka---Ramsey
Nacho--Kos---Mus-Gabriel
----------Cech

Worried Wenger is going to run Alexis into the ground, we should have completely rested him against Basel IMO. We play Everton and City in the next 8 days, so I'd have him on the bench for this one. Giroud isn't world class but he's helped us win harder games than Stoke City at home in the past. Also I'd like Wenger to repay for his good attitude with few starts here and there whilst resting Alexis in the process.

Expected team. Ramsey seems to be injured.

Surprised to see Bellerin back in the squad already.

Pity about Lucas, probably isn't fit enough to play again so soon

Wenger said there were no injuries from the Basel game. It's obvious Ramsey is still working on his fitness. Hopefully he'll be involved against Everton.

Maybe he picked up a knock in training then. If it's just a fitness issue he'd probably be on the bench.

He signaled to the bench before he got substituted in the last game. Hopefully its just a precaution.

Glad to see Xhaka starting.

Was hoping to see Giroud start, it's Stoke at home ffs. Put a few behind them then rest Alexis asap

I hope to see Oxlade-Chamberlain continue to build on what has been a promising season so far.

Comfortable win please.

im not expecting a comfortable win here
