Wenger should drop these 3 Arsenal players against Chelsea

Olivier Giroud

And finally, Wenger will debate about dropping fellow Frenchman Giroud. One because of Tuesday’s display. Two because of a slight injury doubt.

The 30-year-old, who has scored seven Premier League goals so far this season, also faces a late fitness test after being replaced by winger Theo Walcott against Watford after knocking his ankle.

Nonetheless, the striker failed to impose himself on the Hornets’ defence in midweek during his 45-minute appearance, though The Gunners’ service was fairly poor.

Fellow forward Walcott could be preferred for tomorrow’s trip to Stamford Bridge, given he has scored 14 goals in all competitions this term, and his next strike will be his 100th Arsenal goal. The stage is set!
