With a lot of teams dropping points over the weekend Arsenal will look to put things right and pick up three points on Monday. If Arsenal have any hope of playing in Europe next season they need to start winning games consistently. If we win this game we will be 6 point from the Top 4 and 10 from the top of the table. There could still be a way to get in to the European places. With a little bit of luck teams above us could continue to drop points we need to capitalize on that in every game.

Arteta will make few changes that will see the return of Thomas Partey, Gabriel Magalhães and Kieran Tierney to the line up.

STARTING 11

Leno to continue in goal. The club wants to bring in an able number two but until then he stays in the team.

Hector Bellerin had a very poor game last time out. Its really not fair to continue playing him but I don’t see Arteta playing Cedric as we have a FA Cup game in the weekend. Tierney is fit and available for selection so that means no Maitland-Niles. Gabriel need to come back in the team and will partner Holding.

Partey had about 30 minutes in the last game so he start this game for me. Next to him we go with Granit Xhaka this is a partnership I think Arteta is keen on. Ceballos had a good game its a bit harsh on him but its also good to have him as an option from the bench. In the number 10 role, we go with Smith Rowe, he had a very quite game last time out we hope he gets more on the ball and make things happen.

I want to bench Aubamyang but not for Pepe or Willian, and I don’t want to rush Martinelli. Nelson is no where near the starting line up so Aubameyang gets another chance. Saka will return to his position on the right wing and Lacazette continue as the main striker.

There’s a possibility one of Pepe and Martinelli could start this game ahead of Aubameyang. Willian could also featured from the bench having missed out the last game.
