With Arsenal set to host Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium, we have tried to call Mikel Arteta’s predicted lineup.
From the XI that featured in the Gunners’ 4-1 victory against Crystal Palace, we expect there to be just 2 changes.
Arsenal predicted lineup vs Leeds United
In between the sticks, Aaron Ramsdale is expected to keep his place in our Arsenal predicted lineup against Leeds United.
With Takehiro Tomiyasu spotted in crutches by journalist Simon Collins after his side’s defeat to Sporting CP, he has been deemed out for the season.
Keeping that in mind, Ben White is set to start once again.
As William Saliba also joined the Japanese international as one of the injured players during the same game, Rob Holding looks likely to start alongside Gabriel Magalhaes in our Arsenal predicted lineup against Leeds as well.
At left-back, it goes without saying that Oleksandr Zinchenko will retain his place in the side.
While GOAL journalist Charles Watts did say that Thomas Partey could be ‘fine’ to start against Javi Gracia’s side, we expect Mikel Arteta to play it safe and just play Jorginho so that he does end up aggravating the former’s injury.
Right in front of Jorginho is likely to be Granit Xhaka to keep his place in our Gunners predicted lineup against Leeds.
Despite Arsenals fans expressing their frustration at Rodri’s reckless challenge on Martin Odegaard in Spain’s 3-0 win against Norway, the skipper is fit to play.
On the right wing, it goes without saying that the brilliant Bukayo Saka will be the first name on the team sheet for Saturday’s clash.
Despite Leandro Trossard being in terrific touch, we expect Mikel Arteta to bench him against Leeds and start Gabriel Jesus instead.
Gabriel Martinelli is expected to occupy his usual left wing spot.
Arsenal predicted lineup vs Leeds United: Ramsdale, White, Holding, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Jorginho, Xhaka, Odegaard, Saka, Jesus, Martinelli
