The Gunners head to Carrow Road on Sunday for a Premier League match v Norwich City.
Even though the Canaries are currently dead last in the Premier League table, I expect Mikel Arteta will field his strongest starting XI to push for the win and the much needed three points.
Hopefully, Carabao Cup stars Eddie Nketiah and Nicolas Pepe will also get some well-deserved playing time this weekend. In my opinion, they have both earned the opportunity.
With that said, here’s my suggested starting XI v Dean Smith and his Norwich City squad…
[4-4-1-1]
Lacazette
Odegaard
Martinelli, Xhaka, Partey, Saka
Tierney, Gabriel, White, Tomiyasu
Ramsdale
Predicted final score: Norwich City 0 – ARSENAL 3
COYG!
I’d like to see holding start to allow a bit more rest for a centre back. I’d also give tomiyasu another break.
Rest some defenders for the big matches coming. Second half if we leading by decent score then rotate some of the midfield and strikers.
We got a busy few weeks coming up. And we want a good fit squad for when we play the scowsers in the carabao semi final.
