Predicted Arsenal lineup (3-4-2-1) vs Swansea City, Sanchez and Ozil start
Arsenal will look to maintain their winning momentum when they host Swansea City in the Premier League on Saturday.
The Gunners put in a resounding performance in the 5-2 thumping of Everton last weekend, and they have since secured a hard-fought 2-1 win over Norwich City in the League Cup fourth-round tie.
Arsene Wenger's side did the double over the Swans last term, and they will fancy securing all three points this weekend despite the visitors' impressive defensive record on the road.
Formation: 3-4-2-1
Lineup:
Petr Cech played no part in the midweek League Cup game, and he will be afresh to start in goal. The defence is unlikely to see any changes with Laurent Koscielny, Per Mertesacker and Nacho Monreal fulfiling the central defensive positions.
Hector Bellerin and Sead Kolasinac have featured in the right wing-back and left wing-back positions for the Gunners of late, and there is unlikely to be any change in their roles.
There have been calls for Jack Wilshere to make the starting lineup, but Wenger is likely to stick with his preferred combination of Aaron Ramsey and Granit Xhaka in central midfield.
Further forward, Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez had their best games of the campaign at Everton last weekend, and they are pretty guaranteed starts just behind the main striker.
Alexandre Lacazette has amassed five goals in his maiden Premier League campaign, and he could be backed to start up front ahead of Olivier Giroud, who has yet to make a top-flight start this term.
Arsenal lineup: Cech, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Monreal, Bellerin, Kolasinac, Ramsey, Xhaka, Ozil, Sanchez, Lacazette
