Ozil and Cazorla link up?

Santi Cazorla could be back in action against Norwich City on Saturday but Arsene Wenger says his focus is on his Arsenal team as a whole and not the potential midfield Ozil and Cazorla pairing .

Ozil has shaken off a slight knock picked up on international duty with Germany to be ready to face Norwich City on Saturday, with Cazorla likely to be included in the matchday squad after shrugging off an ankle injury which has kept him sidelined since early September.

I’m very happy at the moment with the team that has played up until now, so I do not expect anything special. Arsene Wenger

However, Wenger is more interested in seeing his side continue their fine form of recent times, with the Gunners unbeaten in all competitions since the opening day of the new season.

“You want all of your best players to play together in a very positive way,” Wenger said. “I’m very happy at the moment with the team that has played up until now, so I do not expect anything special.

“I believe what is important is that instead of focusing on one or two players is to focus on developing ourselves as a team, improving our team play because there is still room for improvement.

“There’s still the desire inside the team to do that.” The injury news for Wenger is improved further with defender Bacary Sagna back in the fold after hamstring problems, giving the Arsenal boss plenty of selection dilemmas.

The Gunners, who have lost just one of their last 13 meetings with Norwich, are 2/7 to win at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday and 8/1 to triumph by a 3-0 scoreline, with Ozil 13/2 to open the scoring.
