As Alexis, as well as others, have only just returned from international duty, it’s likely that we’ll see an ever-so-slightly rotated squad against Swansea.

Aaron Ramsey (hamstring) is still out with Arsene Wenger claiming that he has to start training from a pre-season level again. Olivier Giroud (toe) is also still a couple of weeks away.

The other usual suspects, Danny Welbeck (knee) and Per Mertesacker (knee) are also still out.

Elsewhere, I reckon we’ll see Theo Walcott up front as Alexis may start on the bench. The England international needs to get back on the horse after not really turning up for his country during the break.

This means that we could see Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Alex Iwobi on the wings. A speedy attack.

Francis Coquelin is available for selection but he’s just returned from injury and I’m not sure the boss would throw him straight into the mix. On the other hand, Granit Xhaka was away with Switzerland…

Elsewhere, I don’t think we’ll see many changes.
