Following Arsenal’s terrific win at Leeds United on Saturday, Mikel Arteta will rotate most of his squad for the Carabao Cup quarterfinals match v Sunderland on Tuesday.
Here’s my proposed line-up that will provide the fire power needed to defeat Sunderland and move the Gunners into the competition’s semifinals.
[4-4-1-1]
Martinelli
Odegaard
Smith-Rowe, Elneny, Maitland-Niles, Pepe
Tavares, Holding, Chambers, Cedric
Leno
Predicted final score: ARSENAL 3 – Sunderland 0
