Mikel Arteta faces some question marks for Wednesday’s Champions League match v Club Brugge.
First, the injury list continues to remain a problem. Declan Rice, William Saliba and Leandro Trossard missed Tuesday’s training session, and all three remain a question mark for the UCL match.
Second, the manager needs to get his team back to their winning ways after a last second lost to Aston Villa on the weekend. The match was basically a poor performance from the Gunners, so strong games v Club Brugge and Wolves on Saturday would get the lads back on track.
Arsenal are still the table leaders in both the Premier League and Champions League, however, performances need to improve following the last two v Brentford and Aston Villa.
With that said, here’s is my predicted starting XI for Wednesday…
[4-4-2]
Martinelli, Merino, Saka
Norgaard, Eze, Zubimendi
Calafiori, Hincapie, Timber, White
Predicted final score: Club Brugge 0 – ARSENAL 3
