David Luiz has aggravated a neck injury he received in the Community Shield game on August 29th, and could possibly be out for six weeks.
So, Mikel Arteta has his first major head scratcher of the new campaign.
He is probably thinking to himself, “Should I start Gabriel and Saliba on the backline together for the first time on Saturday? Have they had enough training time together to make this work, or should I slot in Rob Holding or even Kieran Tierney to fill the Luiz void on Saturday?”
With Pablo Mari, Shkodran Mustafi and Calum Chambers on the injured list, and Sokratis possibly on his way to Napoli, all of a sudden Arteta has a shortage on the back line, again.
Now, I don’t mean to disrespect Fulham, however, since Arsenal is playing a team that has just been promoted, I would go with the newbies, Saliba and Gabriel at the back. Training is great, however, there is nothing like real world experience to get one ready for the real world. Give them a shot, let’s see what they have. This is the Arsenal future, right, so why shouldn’t the future be now?

According to Metro, Arsenal is interested in Chelsea forward Neto.
The Mirror is reporting the Gunners would have to pay Galatasaray at least $81.2-million (USD) to sign Victor Osimhen.
Since the beginning of the 2015/2016 season, Arsenal has now won 5 of the last 12 Community Shields, including Sunday’s 3-0 win over Manchester City.
