Arsenal Predicted Lineups vs Manchester City Amid Gunner’s Injury Woes

Mikel Arteta faces a significant dilemma over his starting line-up for Arsenal‘s match against Manchester City.

The question is whether to stick with Rob Holding in central defence or twist and include Ben White in an attempt to increase pace and build-up play from the back.

One possibility could be to use Kieran Tierney at left-back and Oleksandr Zinchenko on the other side as an inverted full-back to add midfield support on the right.

However, given that William Saliba is still unavailable, Arteta is likely to go with Holding, a reliable defender who may not entirely fit Arteta’s football philosophy.

Holding is a beloved member of the squad, so this will be a tough decision for the manager, especially since Granit Xhaka should be returning to the lineup after missing the last match due to illness.

The only other question Arteta may face is whether to include Leandro Trossard in the squad, but given Bukayo Saka’s form, Gabriel Martinelli’s speed, and Gabriel Jesus’ experience playing against City, it seems likely that Arteta will stick with his current front line.
