The club have added to last year&#8217;s rebuild with several new signings. Among them are <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/07\/04\/arsenal-confirm-gabriel-jesus-manchester-city\/\" target=\"_self\">Gabriel Jesus<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/07\/20\/oleksandr-zinchenko-arsenal-pep-guardiola\/\" target=\"_self\">Oleksandr Zinchenko<\/a>, bought from Manchester City, and they are expected to be in the starting lineup.

White, Saliba, Gabriel and Zinchenko made the four at the back. Thomas Partey, Granit Xhaka and Martin \u00d8degaard played in the midfield with Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli playing up front.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal also tried a 3-5-2 in the thrashing of Sevilla with the same personnel. This meant Aaron Ramsdale kept his place as the goalkeeper. White, Saliba and Gabriel played the three at the back, with Saka and Zinchenko as wing-backs. Arteta kept the same midfield of Partey, Xhaka and \u00d8degaard and played both Martinelli and Jesus up front.<\/p>\n<h3>Team Injuries to Consider<\/h3>\n<p>Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Takehiro Tomiyasu,\u00a0 the new signing Fabio Viera and Kieran Tierney are likely to be available for selection.
