Arsenal predicted XI vs Manchester City as Odegaard replacement emerges and Partey decision made
It was always going to be a tough week for Arsenal. The Gunners saw off Tottenham in gritty fashion last Sunday before securing an underwhelming, but professional 0-0 draw with Atalanta. Now, though, comes their biggest test.
Mikel Arteta’s side travel to Manchester City in a game that could well impact the outcome of this season’s Premier League title. They have some questions to answer in the process.
Martin Odegaard faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines, and in both matches since the Norwegian was ruled out Arsenal have struggled to gain any dominance of the ball. Now against arguably the best possession team on the planet they must find a way.
Goalkeeper – David Raya
Raya went one better than his superb stop at Aston Villa with a superb double save in Bergamo on Thursday night. The Spaniard is in great form and will want to be at his best at the Etihad.
Right back – Ben White
Centre back – William Saliba
Centre back – Gabriel
Left back – Jurrien Timber
