Arsenal will be eyeing their eighth win of the Premier League campaign when they host Burnley at the Emirates Stadium today.
The Gunners recently suffered their first loss of the top-flight season but responded with a victory over Sevilla in Europe.
Ahead of today’s game, there could be at least one change to the XI.
Predicted Line-up:
David Raya has been the mainstay in the Gunners goal since the September international break and he is expected to start ahead of Aaron Ramsdale again.
In defence, there could be a solitary change in the left-back position from the Sevilla win. The more offensive Zinchenko should take his place ahead of Takehiro Tomiyasu, who is known for his defensive solidity.
Jorginho, Kai Havertz and Declan Rice have started for the last two games and we don’t see any changes. Havertz was better with the ball at his feet and should be backed to start with Martin Odegaard doubtful.
Further forward, Bukayo Saka should start on the right flank. He is nursing a knock but we expect him to make the XI. The Englishman was fantastic in midweek with a goal and an assist to his name.
Gabriel Martinelli was also exceptional on the left wing with nine successful take-ons and 12 crosses into the box. He should keep his place with Leandro Trossard starting as the man up front.
Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1): Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Jorginho, Havertz, Rice; Saka, Trossard, Martinelli.
