If Martin Odegaard can be signed, and arrive in London in time for some last minute training with his Arsenal teammates, I predict Mikel Arteta will put him in the starting XI on Sunday.
With that said, here’s my predicted starting XI and final score v Chelsea…
[4-3-3]
Smith Rowe, Martinelli, Saka
Xhaka, Lokonga, Odegaard
Tierney, Mari, White, Chambers
Leno
Final score: ARSENAL 1 – Chelsea 2

Martin Odegaard, “We need to be sharper in the key moments to make sure we get the results we’ve worked for. We have to keep going and keep improving. There is no choice for us now.”
Wrong position for Odegaard, Xhaka and Smith Rowe mate.Pepe is the only one scoring goals for this club and you’re leaving him out? No wonder your prediction is we’ll lose.
