It’s a big match for the Gunners who can gain ground on their rivals with the fixtures on Sunday. Here’s how we think they’ll line up:

Arsenal

GK) Petr Cech

Most of this side picks itself these days meaning Petr Cech will start.

RCB) Laurent Koscielny

Don't Miss:

• Dusan Vlahovic urged to complete ‘perfect’ transfer – not Arsenal
• ‘Break club record spend or look elsewhere’ Arsenal told
• Arsenal eye player Lionel Messi claimed to be ‘similar to Xavi’

He’ll play.

CB) Per Mertesacker

With Shkodran Mustafi out injured, Per Mertesacker is expected to fill in at centre-back for the Gunners.

LCB) Nacho Monreal

He’ll start.

RWB) Hector Bellerin

Hector Bellerin will undoubtedly play.

CM) Granit Xhaka

Granit Xhaka will start.

CM) Aaron Ramsey

Aaron Ramsey has been one of the outstanding players for Arsenal in the last month and will surely start.

LWB) Sead Kolasinac

Sead Kolasinac will play.

RAM) Mesut Ozil

The German will surely start alongside the rest of this exciting Arsenal front three.

LAM) Alexis Sanchez

He’ll play.

ST) Alexandre Lacazette

It was a surprise to see Alexandre Lacazette’s name on the starting lineup last weekend but it won’t be today.
