Perm any of Cazorla, Ramsey and Elneny as dictated by form, fitness and opposition.

Easy.
That's a nice way of avoiding the difficult question, N. Yes, there will be plenty of opportunity for multiple players in that position due to injury, fatigue etc. However, Wenger's history suggests that he likes a settled first 11, so assuming we don't have too many injuries (stop laughing now), which two of Cazorla, Elneny, Ramsey, Walcott, Ox and Iwobi will play with Xhaka, Ozil and Sanchez in the important matches?

It should be Cazorla and Walcott imo, maybe Ox or Iwobi instead of Theo if either of them shows significant improvement this year. My bet is that it will be Cazorla and Ramsey.
