Plenty of options- Wenger

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has a welcome selection headache in central defence with a number of options at his disposal for Saturday's Premier League clash with West Brom.

The Frenchman came under huge pressure to revamp the middle of the Gunners' defence during the transfer window but signed only Per Mertesacker.

Injuries were part of the problem in recent weeks but Wenger now has Thomas Vermaelen, Johan Djourou and Sebastien Squillaci fit to challenge Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny.
"The balance is vital," Wenger told Arsenal Player

Koscielny and Vermaelen can play together and Mertesacker can play with Vermaelen and Koscielny.
"It gives us a bit of an opportunity to rotate a bit when needed and people are tired.
"Ideally, Vermaelen will play on the left (of central defence). But Koscielny can play on the left as well so we have a good potential and balance there.
"I think that all the three can play at any moment, and we still have Djourou and Squillaci as well.
"People wanted us to buy a centre-back so much and then suddenly you realise we have plenty."
