that the loss of Wilshire to injury makes almost no difference.
In Wilshire's potential positions, Arsenal has:
Santi Cazorla, Tomas Rosicky and Aaron Ramsey in the more defensive central midfield position, Mesut Ozil, Rosicky and Cazorla in the number 10 role, and Theo Walcott, Alexis Sanchez, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Danny Welbeck and Ramsey on the wing.
This team can lose its entire first string and put out a second string of almost identical quality. Even several of the young players coming out of the academy/on loan are now of the requisite quality to step up to the bench if needed.
