Mesut Ozil and Alexis are in line to start a match together for the first time since the Emirates FA Cup final when we visit Liverpool on Sunday.

Sead Kolasinac is yet to play alongside Alexis - but finally doing so is a prospect which excites the Bosnia international.

“It is very important to have him back,” Kolasinac said. “He can make real difference in games.

“Alexis is a very important player for us. I have seen that in training with his presence, his speed and how easily he can go past players.

“He is important when it comes to his combinations, especially with Mesut, which looks really good in training. We are pleased to have him back and I hope he can help us as soon as possible.”
