Defence ?

Luiz, Mustafi, Sokratis, Chambers, Mari all injured

Our only 3 available CBs are Saliba, Gabriel and Holding (who is being linked with a move away)

With Luiz missing today, will we stick with a back 3 or switch to a back 4? Considering the opposition, I would not be surprised to see the latter and for Arteta to deploy a more attacking approach. My guess is we may see this team and be in for a high scoring game.

Leno
Bellerin Holding Gabriel Tierney
Ceballos Xhaka
Saka Willian Auba
Lacazette

With our attacking and (hopefully soon) midfield options, Arteta’s team selections are going to be pretty difficult to predict this season.
