The Gunners played a very determined, hard-fought match on Saturday v Sunderland in the Stadium of Lights.
Bruno Guimaraes scored the his first goal as an Arsenal player coming off the bench, then Bukayo Saka banged home a penalty kick as time expired to secure a 2-0 win over Granit Xhaka and his Black Cats. Hats off to David Raya for stopping a crucial Sunderland penalty kick that turned the momentum back to the Gunners just before Guimaraes’s goal.
Next up, Arsenal head to Ipswich town for a 3rd Round match-up in the Carabao Cup.
The Gunners have won their first six matches of the season, giving up only one goal, with five clean sheets.
With that said, here is my predicted starting XI on Tuesday for Mikel Arteta at Portman Road…
[4-3-3]
Madueke, Gyokeres, Dowman
Merino, Eze, Lewis-Skelly
Calafiori, Hincapie, Salmon, Timber
Kepa
Predicted final score: Ipswich Town 1 – ARSENAL 3
