Arsenal are back in Premier League action this evening, as they host Aston Villa just days after beating Molde.
The Gunners fell behind to the Norwegian side, but roared back with four goals to claim a comfortable Europa League win.
Mikel Arteta must now focus on domestic matters, and will hope to build on last weekend’s win at Manchester United.
With that in mind, here’s our predicted line-up for tonight’s game…
Bernd Leno will almost certainly be starting in goal, with Runar Runarsson offering less real competition than Emiliano Martinez did.
Hector Bellerin will line up at right back, with Kieran Tierney on the left as Arteta goes with a 4-3-3 rather than a 3-4-3.
That would see Rob Holding as Gabriel Magalhaes as the central defensive duo, as David Luiz is only recently back from injury.
Mohamed Elneny and Thomas Partey were both rested against Molde so should start in midfield again, whilst Bukayo Saka can offer a more forward-thinking option in the midfield.
Alexandre Lacazette will likely lead the line, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Willian attacking from the flanks as Nicolas Pepe has to make do with a place on the bench again.
Runarsson, Luiz, Granit Xhaka, Joe Willock, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Eddie Nketiah appear strong candidates to join Pepe on the bench.
Arsenal predicted XI: Leno; Bellerin, Holding, Gabriel, Tierney; Elneny, Partey, Saka; Willian, Aubameyang, Lacazette.
