Arsenal fans will be wondering whether the latest run of form is another false dawn or whether, this time, serious progress is being made.
But a second successive FA Cup Final is nothing to be sniffed at and Arsenal do look more solid with Coquelin and Paulista adding substance to the style of late.
But, even though the pressure is off to a degree in the league, Arsenal’s match against Chelsea on Sunday (Kick Off 16:00 local time) should provide the sort of barometer necessary to gauge the improvement of the team.
Because Arsenal are known to fall at these sorts of hurdles. They have beaten Manchester United and City on their own patches this season and will hope that they now have the cutting edge and mettle to out punch Chelsea – who have one of the best defences in Europe and twinned with the frighteningly good attacking threat of Eden Hazard. He did the damage in an otherwise defensive performance against United and Chelsea will look for a similar outlet on Sunday.
Arsenal could be without Per Mertesacker and The Ox, but neither will be sorely missed last this stage and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is once more abel to pick, arguably, his strongest XI.
And this is how we think he should set up. Arsenal fans: let’s have your elevens for the match of the weekend.

Arsenal best X11 against Chelsea.
Ospina, Bellerin, paulista, Koscieny, Monreal, Coquelin, Ramsey, Ozil, Giroud, Walcott, and Sanchez.
I don’t see how Chelsea can survive these team.

Ya’ll stupid! Move Ramsey into midfield cazorla out,Welbeck on the right wing and surely hector in his right back position.

Good point but our logic is that Ramsey has a better engine than Cazorla to cover his full back on that right flank against a top team

I think you are right, I always wish that arsenal plays only one player between Ozil and Carzola

the team to face chelsea for has to be the one that will play defensively and can catch chelsea on the counter. We shouldn’t be gungho on all attack we have learned with these big teams it’s best to play a patient game. With that in mind here my team…Ospina,bellerin,paulista,lauren,monreal,..coquerilin,ramsey,ozil,sachez,walcott,welbeck…….sub: olivier,cazorla,wilshere,woz….with the speed of those three we should be able to cause problems to their defense
