The opening match of the 2022/2023 Premier League season is just two days away, so it’s time to predict who Mikel Arteta will start on Friday.
I’m thinking it’s the same XI he started v Chelsea and v Sevilla in the preseason’s wrap-up matches.
Here we go…
[4-3-3]
Martinelli, Jesus, Saka
Xhaka, Odegaard, Partey
Zinchenko, Gabriel, Saliba, White
Ramsdale
Predicted final score: Crystal Palace 1 – ARSENAL 3
COYG, let’s get this party started!
