Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will be hoping his team get back to winning ways this weekend against Spurs at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal are currently placed sixth in the English Premier League log and a whopping 12 points adrift Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
Arsene Wenger has been left with lesser options up front following the news that France international forward Olivier Giroud sustained a thigh injury which will see the striker miss the upcoming matches.
However, the availability of record signing Alexandre Lacazette, who was shockingly dropped from the starting line up against City at the Etihad stadium, means Wenger might not be too concerned about the absence of the FIFA Puskas Award recipient.
Assuming the centre-back crisis has not been resolved, defender Mathieu Debuchy, who actually has experience playing at the centre a couple of years ago, should be drafted there instead of France international Francis Coquelin.
The Frenchman is obviously not a popular choice but his compatriot Debuchy has a more defensive solidity to offer at the back than Egyptian Elneny or Coquelin.
Also, England international midfielder Jack Wilshere, who always bring the passion and desire needed in matches like this, actually deserves a starting shirt no matter who nust make way.
Petr Cech; Mathieu Debuchy, Laurent Koscielny, Nacho Monreal; Bellerin, Granith Xhaka, Aaron Ramsey, Sead Kolasinac; Alexis Sanchez, Alex Lacazette, Jack Wilshere.
