He&#8217;s been on fire but has been carrying a muscle pull and Arsene Wenger will be watching on nervously as the star trains with the Chile squad this week.<\/p>\n<p>Hector Bellerin looks certain to miss the game and will be big loss. Lucas Perez won&#8217;t make it and Santi Cazorla looks doubtful. So there are some key absentees and Arsenal&#8217;s hopes for three points could rest on the availability of Sanchez.<\/p>\n<p>The Gunners do still have enough to take this one. They not only have a deeper squad than at any time in recent memory but also look tougher to break down with the likes of Coquelin and Xhaka in the ranks.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the game of the weekend and looks set to generate fireworks, however it turns out.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s TFF&#8217;s line up. Arsenal fans: is this the best team you can put out? And who would you deploy at right back?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thefootballfreak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Arse-m.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefootballfreak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Arse-m.jpg\" alt=\"arse-m\" width=\"330\" height=\"510\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefootballfreak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Arse-m.jpg 330w, https:\/\/thefootballfreak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Arse-m-194x300.jpg 194w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 330px) 100vw, 330px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Cracker <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/thefootballfreak.com\/4-2-3-1-predicted-arsenal-xi-vs-united-pace-burn\/\" title=\"4-2-3-1: A Predicted Arsenal XI vs United &#8211; pace to burn\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":223,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39,4],"tags":[161,17],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thefootballfreak.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6327"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thefootballfreak.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thefootballfreak.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thefootballfreak.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thefootballfreak.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6327"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thefootballfreak.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6327\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12129,"href":"https:\/\/thefootballfreak.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6327\/revisions\/12129"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thefootballfreak.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/223"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thefootballfreak.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6327"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thefootballfreak.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6327"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thefootballfreak.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6327"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
