Szczesny has been brilliant all season and seems to have eradicated the rash decision-making which plagued him during his early years at the club. He has adopted a commanding presence at the back and his total of nine clean sheets is the best in the league.
After a shaky start to life in London, Mertesacker has emerged as one of the best central defenders in Europe. His ability to read the game and identify danger is second to none and he is one of the more vocal outfielders at Arsenal. Mertesacker is great at defending set pieces and has even chipped in with two goals at the other end of the field.
Arsenal's record signing generated a buzz of excitement among Arsenal fans and the £42.5m star has lived up to expectations. Ozil has four goals and seven assists in the league, despite missing the first three fixtures and will play a big part in Arsenal's title challenge.
Ramsey has been a revelation this year. He has already scored eight league goals from midfield this season, having scored just three in his first two seasons at the club. Currently on the sidelines with a thigh problem, Wenger will hope to have the 23-year-old back on the pitch as soon as possible.
The Frenchman has been carrying the goal-scoring burden up front for much of the season and must continue his fine form if Arsenal are going to remain title contenders. The return of Lukas Podolski is good news for Giroud, who had previously relied on goals coming from midfield. With Theo Walcott out for the rest of the season, another striker may enter the fold in January to help carry the workload.
