Does Arteta shake up his starting XI for Tuesday’s London Derby?

A London Derby is next! This could be the perfect match for Arsenal to rebound from Wednesday’s debacle. Chelsea at home in Emirates Stadium.

A big win against the struggling Blues would surely raise our spirits, and put us back on the right track for the final run-in of fixtures.

With that said, what will Mike Arteta do with a starting XI? Does he make changes to his formation and tactics from Wednesday?

I’m going to propose the following starting XI for Tuesday at Emirates Stadium. I think Arteta needs to shake up things a little.

[3-1-4-2]

Trossard, Jesus

Martinelli, Odegaard, Xhaka, Saka

Jorginho

Tierney, Gabriel, White

Ramsdale

Notes: Kieran Tierney will provide better defensive cover, which is something we need at the moment. Leandro Trossard deserves to start, and then bring in Jorginho for Thomas Partey. Thomas hasn’t looked himself the past few matches.

Predicted final score: ARSENAL 3 – Chelsea 1

  1. The best way to lose a game to a team you should beat is to ask your players to do things they don’t know how to do. Like, for example, play in a back three when they have played, well, in a back four all season.

    Chelsea are in disarray. Frank Lampard has done nothing as a coach to make anyone think he is any good at it. Arsenal are toop of the league playing a 4-2-3-1/433 in and out of possession. A bunch of pundits who have never managed a top-flight team have blamed all of Arsenal’s woes on Rob Holding. Coming up with a line up to make removing Holding from the squead will, almost certainly, end in another Arsenal defeat to a team they should defeat easily.

    Arsenal may lose to Chelsea. They may win. Either way, they should do it using the tacticvs and personell they used to cllimb to the top of the league and stay there for eight months.

  2. Hi there to all, for the reason that I am genuinely keen of reading this website’s post to be updated on a regular basis. It carries pleasant stuff.
