Wenger also revealed that Mathieu Flamini could return to the starting line up after being dropped for the 2 – 0 win against Bournemouth.
Wenger said: “Certainly we will rotate again. Flamini has a chance to come back and I think Alexis is a bit short. Alexis will be back in one week, maybe against Sunderland. Everybody else in the squad against Bournemouth should be available.

“I’m confident we will fight to stay there. It is a long way to go – we are only halfway.”
“Everybody wants to predict who will win it at halfway and that is unfortunately even for the most intelligent people [that is] impossible.
“I believe that we are mature enough and that we have the requested quality to fight and compete. The most important thing is to feel, at the end of the season, that we have given absolutely everything to be successful.
“After that, if somebody has been better than us, we will accept it, but we want to fight to show that we have a chance.”
In a related development, Wenger has revealed his club’s plan ahead of the January transfer window which is just around the corner.
