Flamini & Arteta? How Arsenal Should Line Up Against Tottenham

Arsenal can compound Tottenham's misery this afternoon as they travel across north London for the derby clash. Spurs were battered by Chelsea last week and were then beaten by Benfica and will be desperate to get something out of the clash, but how should Arsene Wenger set his side up?

Wojciech Szczcesny is the obvious choice between the sticks despite Lukasz Fabianski showing good form.

On the right of defence, operating in a 4-2-3-1 formation, would be Bacary Sagna. On the left it looks as though Nacho Monreal will be available, though if he's not I would go for Thomas Vermaelen.

In the middle of the back four would be Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny, as they continue their brilliant form.

Mathieu Flamini and Mikel Arteta would be my combination in the middle as despite claims they can't play alongside eachother, the stats speak for themselves and they sit in favour of that duo.

From left to right in the attacking areas I would go Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain,  Santi Cazorla and Thomas Rosicky, though in a flexible formation, and keep Olivier Giroud up top. The France international has scored 18 goals in his 37 outings so far this season.
