First Center Midfielder – Mesut Ozil

Despite being injured and ill for some parts this season, Ozil is expected to start tomorrow for Arsenal. The 28-year-old German is crucial to Arsenal’s attacking style and is world-class playmaker in midfield. After 20 assists in all competitions a season ago, Ozil has eight so far this season. His nine goals shows that he is a scoring threat too, while he brings creativity and distribution to the Arsenal midfield.
