The Gunners open Carabao Cup play on Wednesday at home v Brighton and Hove Albion.
This will be a tricky match for Mikel Arteta when selecting a starting XI.
First, Brighton and Hove have been playing some very good football this season, currently 6th on the Premier League table.
Second, will Brighton and Hove manager Roberto De Zerbi start a less-seasoned squad? My guess is no. They’ll want to prove a point here.
So, with that said, here’s is my predicted starting XI for Arsenal on Wednesday…
[4-2-3-1]
Nketiah
Martinelli, Vieira, Nelson
Elneny, Lokonga
Tierney, Holding, Saliba, White
Turner
Predicted final score: ARSENAL 2 – Brighton and Hove 0
COYG!
