Here is how we predict Arsenal and Middlesbrough will line up this weekend:

To be played on Saturday 22nd October 2016 at 14:00. Venue: Emirates Stadium, London

Odds: Arsenal 1/4, Draw 19/4, Middlesbrough 10/1

Arsenal welcome Middlesbrough to the Emirates Stadium this weekend for their latest Premier League clash.

The Gunners are enjoying a superb run of form that has taken them to second in the table, below leaders Manchester City only on goal-difference.

They could go one better on Saturday with City not playing until the following day, and when you consider Arsenal thrashed Ludogorets 6-0 in the Champions League earlier this week, confidence is going to be high.

In early team news Arsenal are without Per Mertesacker, Carl Jenkinson, Aaron Ramsey, Olivier Giroud and Danny Welbeck due to injury, while Granit Xhaka is suspended following his red card last time out.

As for Middlesbrough, they cannot call on Fabio Da Silva or Grant Leadbitter while loanee Calum Chambers is ineligible to play against his parent club.

With that in mind here is how we expect the two sides to line up at the weekend:
