DC: Gabriel
Many may feel Arsenal need another signing at centre-back, but January buy Gabriel has proven a big hit so far this season, despite his unfortunate sending off at the weekend.
DC: Laurent Koscielny
Still first choice for Arsenal, Laurent Koscielny’s place should be safe for the rest of the season whether he plays alongside Gabriel or Per Mertesacker.
MC: William Carvalho
Expected to be a target for Arsenal again this January, Sporting Lisbon starlet William Carvalho would be an ideal buy to strengthen in midfield, perhaps replacing Francis Coquelin.
MC: Santi Cazorla
Keeping his place as Arsenal’s main playmaker, Santi Cazorla has formed a fine partnership with Coquelin and should also shine alongside Carvalho.
