Aaron Ramsey is nearing the end of his contract at Arsenal, while Mesut Ozil seems to have fallen out of favour under manager Unai Emery this season.

1) Mesut Ozil replacement

Arsenal have changed formation several times under Emery this season, so picking the Spaniard’s XI is far less predictable than when Arsene Wenger was in charge.

This 4-2-3-1 seems to be the set-up most often favoured by the former Paris Saint-Germain manager, however, so it could mean the logical change is Suarez coming in in that number ten role to replace the out-of-favour Ozil.
