With the World Cup nearing its climax, domestic clubs will now be thinking about return to Premier League action. Arsenal host West Ham United on Boxing Day as Mikel Arteta's side aim to stretch their lead at the top of the table.
Much has been said about the Gunners' ability to mount a title challenge this season. Few doubt their ability, but because they lack depth in key areas - specifically in midfield and at right-wing - some question whether they have enough to compete with Manchester City in the long term.
