Is it weird that if Coquelin is hurt, I am actually kind of excited to see Flamini given another shot? It probably is. Arsenal need Francis Coquelin. We know this. He is a defensive wizard and he helps sort out the mess that Arsenal can get itself into from time to time.

He would be an incredibly useful weapon against this Leicester attack. However, as mentioned, if he cannot go, it should be Flamini who steps in and not Arteta. Or, if not, perhaps Ramsey would slide in and the Ox would be given a start.

Santi Cazorla will be back to his regular duties after serving his very rare one-game suspension. He still has the FA’s warning in his back pocket but we know Cazorla’s character. That warning will start to get dusty.
