It’s a big match for Arsene Wenger and Arsenal who will be looking to get back to winning ways in the Premier League after three consecutive games without three points.

Here’s how we think the Gunners will line up:

GK) Petr Cech

He’ll start.

RB) Hector Bellerin

We think Arsene Wenger will start with a back four meaning Hector Bellerin will play at right-back.

RCB) Laurent Koscielny

He’ll start.

LCB) Shkodran Mustafi

Shkodran Mustafi will be fit for the Gunners and we think he will displace Nacho Monreal and start in a back four.

LB) Sead Kolasinac

He should play after being rested in midweek.

RCM) Francis Coquelin

We think Wenger will give Francis Coquelin a start in midfield.

LCM) Granit Xhaka

He’ll play.

RAM) Jack Wilshere

Jack Wilshere could be deployed in a more offensive role.

CAM) Mesut Ozil

He’ll play.

LAM) Alexis Sanchez

Sanchez will start.

ST) Alexandre Lacazette

After starting on the bench in midweek, Alexandre Lacazette will surely be given a place up front later today.
