The team news have been revealed by Arsene Wenger ahead of his side's clash with Aston Villa on Sunday.
According to the boss, there will only be a slight change in the squad that played Brighton and Hove in the FA Cup last weekend. The worry we are facing right now is that of Alexis Sanchez. He has developed a hamstring injury which has made him a doubt for our next league game. However, there could still be a surprise as the Chilean international will undergo another test after which the final verdict would be reached. We just hope he shakes off the problem because we can't afford to lose him at this stage. You know what I mean.
Another change that we all expect to see is the addition of Gabriel Paulista to the Arsenal team to play Aston Villa. If he is considered match fit then the Brazillian defender will definitely appear in the team, more likely as a substitute.
Danny Welbeck is progressing well with his recovery and should be back by the time we face our rivals Tottenham in the North-London derby. The former Manchester United star will resume full training on Monday.
Alex Oxlade Chamberlain, Jack Wilshere and Mikel Arteta are unavailable. The first two are close to a comeback while the last is still a bit far. Diaby??? His is a story for another day.
That's all on team news for now. See you later!
