From the training pictures on the Arsenal website for tomorrow nights game it was a lot of the young guns with the likes of Cech, Chambers, Mertesacker, Gibbs, Debuchy, Flamini and Walcott.
Might be a first chance to see Bielek and a few others.

Wenger has stated that Cech will start.
I expect the entire back four to change to: Debuchy, Chambers, Mertesacker and Gibbs.
I also believe we will start, others that didn't start aganst Everton: Flamini, Walcott and Campbell. Which means we will be able to rest 7 of the 10 outfield players that started against Everton. We may possibly use Iwobi, Kamara, Willock, Bielik and Reine-Adelaide.
We have difficult matches coming up, away to Swansea and Bayern Munich, so I doubt that many, if any, of the players that started against Everton will play against Sheffield Weds. Personally I would use the three of the youngsters I mentioned and rest all those that played last Saturday. We simply cannot afford any further injuries with Ramsey, Wilshere, Welbeck and Rosicky out long term.

Willock and Rene-Adelaide are at the U17 World Cup unfortunately as I'd have loved to see the latter play.
I agree on the back four which with Cech in goal is solid enough. Like you I want to see the others completely rested and as I said yesterday, especially Sanchez.
It would be good to see Bielek and Iwobi for sure.

The absence of Willock and Rene-Adelaide is not unfortunate: future world-beatersdesrve their run-out at the U17 WC. We're lucky to have them.
I understand what you mean, but you know I love our academy products.

Wenger on his right-sided options at Swansea…
Campbell and Alex Iwobi. Santi can play there as well but he has become very important centrally. The problem sometimes is that you can destroy two departments if you move one player out. We control the ball better with Santi in the middle.
