I know, I know, there are six days before Sunday’s tilt v Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium, however, I think it’s time for Mikel Arteta to mix up the starting XI.
With that said, here is my predicted XI…
[4-2-3-1]
Aubameyang
Martinelli, Odegaard, Pepe
Xhaka, Elneny
Tierney, Luiz, Holding, Bellerin
Leno
Thoughts?

One of my all-time Arsenal players, Olivier Giroud, returns to Emirates Stadium on Tuesday. This time as a player for the competition, Lille. Giroud scored 105 goals in 253 appearances for the Gunners.
