What They're Saying
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger (via Daily Mail): "We have to make sure that over Christmas we take advantage of the schedule we have and put the performances in."
QPR manager Harry Redknapp (via ESPN FC): "I can't believe why Arsene Wenger would get any stick really. Arsenal are a good side. I still think they will finish in the top four. They do it every year and I don't see why they won't finish in top four this season. They have some excellent players, although they have had lots of injuries. The pace that they play with, the movement, the passing...they are a good team to watch."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: One of the quality players at Wenger's disposal is Alexis Sanchez. In 16 league appearances, the 26-year-old has nine goals and five assists. Expect him to feature on the right side of the club's formation.
Arsenal's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Szczesny; Gibbs, Mertesacker, Debuchy, Chambers; Cazorla, Flamini, Chamberlain; Welbeck, Giroud, Sanchez
QPR's Projected Lineup (4-5-1): Green; Hill, Dunne, Caulker, Onuoha; Hollett, Fer, Barton, Henry, Vargas; Austin
