MESUT OZIL is being left out by Unai Emery as the Spaniard believes that Dani Ceballos offers more as a creator for the Gunners.

The Arsenal boss has favoured a 4-3-3 formation this season – and football.london claim that there is no natural role for Ozil within the system.

MICHAEL OWEN isn't worried about Arsenal's leaky defence – it's Nicolas Pepe who concerns him the most.
The former England and Liverpool striker hasn't been impressed with the Gunners record signing, who joined from Lille in the summer for £72million.
Owen told Premier League Productions: “I think [Pepe] is the only big worry for Arsenal at the moment.

“But [Pepe] was a massive outlay, you’re expecting or almost wanting a guarantee of performance for that type of money.
“It hasn’t happened yet but we all saw him in France, he’s a terrific player.”

“But in the end it is his decision if he wants to do something else. You have to respect that.”
