Two of the three goal scorers from the Watford match will be suiting up opposite each other as always. Aaron Ramsey’s engine rarely needs charging. So long as he is healthy and effective, he is going to be playing. After what was seen against Watford, that is perfectly fine.

Ramsey’s work rate is irreplaceable. He is always doing something around the ball. Lately, those ‘somethings’ have been rather positive. With him getting off the goal snide against Watford, it is going to be exciting to see what he does as a follow-up act.

Alexis Sanchez should not have played against Watford. But he did. And he was the one that broke the deadlock. But that should have been the extent of his contribution. Instead, Wenger deemed it necessary to keep Alexis in the game until the 80th minute.

That gave our Chilean a whole 10 minutes of rest. Alexis may be a freak of nature (in the best way possible) but he still needs to heal. He has not had that chance. And he won’t.
