Unfortunately injuries are setting in with the back line so fast tracking Da Silva as potential cover if we lose both Nacho and Saed is something we have to do.
Arsene did consider moving Coquelin into the back 3 with Wilshere starting but he wants Holding and Debuchy to get more exposure so will leave it as it is.
