2

Arsenal host Sunderland at the Emirates Stadium this Saturday as they look to secure a good result at home in the Premier League. The Gunners recently managed to pick up a 1-0 win over Chelsea in the EFL Cup, which should keep them in good spirits ahead of this game.

Mikel Arteta will place his players in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make some adjustments to his first team for this clash. David Raya, Ben White and Riccardo Calafiori could play from the start of this match.

Ben White will hope to put in a strong performance at right-back, while Riccardo Calafiori looks to draw attention to the other flank as left-back. Arteta will ask them both to pick their moments to join the attack.

Jurrien Timber and Piero Hincapie will cover the defensive positions on the bench.

Arteta could name three midfielders consisting of Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi and Kai Havertz for this match. All three need to move the ball well if they are to create decent chances in the final third.

Eberechi Eze and Christian Norgaard will have to settle for a place on the bench and could influence the match in the second half if necessary.

Attack

Leandro Trossard hopes to prove his worth on the left flank, while Noni Madueke looks to give a good account of himself as a right-back player.

Gabriel Jesus will spearhead Arteta’s attack. He needs to find a way to be a consistent threat on the offensive end of the floor.

Viktor Gyokeres and Gabriel Martinelli will be available for selection on the bench awaiting their chance to make an impact in the final quarter of the match if the Gunners then need a goal.
