With the suspension of Flamini and injuries to Aaron Ramsey and new signing Källström our midfield is starting to look quite stretched. With our only experienced option being Arteta and Chamberlain in the centre of midfield there were worries that Arteta might not be available for the game against Liverpool as he seemed hurt on Sunday.

All clear

However it is now clear that Arteta has recovered from whatever knock he picked up and is now available for the clash on Saturday.

Wenger simply stated:

“He is alright”

Super Jack to the rescue?

Wenger has released that there is a chance that Jack Wilshere could be fit for the Liverpool game. Wilshere hasn’t been available for selection since the FA cup clash against Coventry last month and his return is coming at a much needed time with the tough fixtures awaiting the Gunners this month.

Line-up

With Jack only having a chance to return to the squad it is doubtful he will be fit enough to make a start but it would be lovely to have experience in midfield on the bench.

With Gibbs having a late fitness test last weekend he was not fully fit and meant Monreal could start in his place but it looks likely he could start this weekend.
