The XI: Man. City vs Arsenal – Ramsey is back, Ozil out as Bellerin starts
Preferred line-up
Ospina
Bellerin – Mertesacker – Koscielny – Gibbs
Ramsey – Coquelin
Chamberlain – Cazorla – Sanchez
Giroud
There is no way Wojciech Szczesny should be walking back into the line-up so David Ospina should continue to prove himself in goal.
With Mathieu Debuchy now out for three months, there will be a gamble going on at right-back between two 19-year-olds. But the speedy Hector Bellerin should be preferred to the occasionally clumsy Calum Chambers.
Arsenal will need more of a physical presence than Tomas Rosicky in central midfield and that is why Aaron Ramsey should be the one teaming up with Francis Coquelin.
The front four that played against Stoke City does not need any chopping and changing at all.
