    Podolski & Gnabry To Start? How Arsenal Should Line Up vs Swansea

    I get the feeling it's make or break for Arsenal this evening. The Gunners topped the league for a long time but have fallen to fourth, and if they lose to Swansea tonight then I am counting them out of the Premier League title race. So how should Arsene Wenger line his men up?

    If I was in charge, I would drop Wojciech Szczesny and start Lukasz Fabianski. The 6-0 defeat at Chelsea was the final straw for me, and I think the latter deserves his chance.

    I would keep Bacary Sagna at right-back and have Per Mertesacker and Thomas Vermaelen in the middle. On the left, I would stick with Kieran Gibbs despite the antics at the weekend.

    In the two central slots I would have Mathieu Flamini and Mikel Arteta, as Jack Wilshere, Aaron Ramsey and Tomas Rosicky are all injured, while Oxlade-Chamberlain is also doubtful.

    The attacking midfield I would choose, from left to right, is Lukas Podolski, Santi Cazorla and Serge Gnabry, who I think deserves his chance despite the long list of injuries at the Emirates.

    Although some are getting fed up with his performances, I would keep Olivier Giroud up front. He is the only viable option right now but I agree that he needs to up his game.

    Gooners, how would you start your side?
