We could see a whole host of changes against West Bromwich Albion this Sunday, with Arsene Wenger presumably having one eye on the FA Cup final.

Wenger confirmed that he would rest a few players against the Baggies, and there are certainly a few tired legs in the squad at the moment.
Wenger: “I will certainly rest one or two players on Sunday, but the most important thing is to win.” #AFCvWBA

Here is how we think the team will line up against West Brom:
GK) David Ospina

Arguably the best player on the pitch against Sunderland, there is no reason the Colombian should be dropped.
RB) Calum Chambers
Chambers has struggled at times when deployed on the right, but Hector Bellerin may be one of the players Wenger chooses to rest. The Spaniard will have a tough task at Wembley, and needs to be at his sharpest.
LB) Kieran Gibbs
The England international has lost his spot to Nacho Monreal this season, but got a game against Sunderland in midweek. The Spaniard should return for the FA Cup, but may get an extended rest before then.
CB) Per Mertesacker
Laurent Koscielny is arguably more in need of a rest than Mertesacker, so the giant German should continue at centre-back.
CB) Gabriel
The Brazilian has shown himself to be capable in his sporadic appearances, and Koscielny is a likely candidate to be rested.
