It was the first time we have seen Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, and Gabriel Martinelli start together but the Gunners flattered to deceive and were lucky to escape with a point. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Read More:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/10\/14\/arsenal-quinten-timber-transfer-links\/\" target=\"_self\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>\u2018A Very Good Talent: Fabrizio Romano Gives Update on Arsenal Links to \u2018Very Important\u2019 Star\u2019s Brother&#8217;<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Mikel Arteta\u2019s side never managed to get control of the match at Stamford Bridge despite having two deep-lying, ball-playing midfielders in Declan Rice and former Blue Jorginho. The experienced Brazilian was uncharacteristically sloppy in possession and was replaced by out-of-favour Emile Smith-Rowe with over 20 minutes to play. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Read More: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/10\/12\/arsenal-ivan-toney-january\/\" target=\"_self\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>Arsenal Linked With Imminent Transfer for \u2018Remarkable\u2019 Star, Player is Keen on the Move<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">At the back, Oleksandr Zinchenko\u2019s defensive fragility was magnified by the directness and speed of Raheem Sterling. The North London side will be happy to come away with a point but it does not take the shine off what has been a strong start to the season remaining unbeaten in the league and having beaten the champions Manchester City in their previous match.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Getting set for Sevilla \ud83d\udc4a<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udccd London Colney <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4D3KiB6ztL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/4D3KiB6ztL<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Arsenal (@Arsenal) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Arsenal\/status\/1716436119632416966?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">October 23, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Arsenal Changes We May See<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Despite his poor performance at Stamford Bridge and the powerhouses of Rice and Thomas Partey, Jorginho is by no means surplus to requirements at the Emirates and if Arsenal are going to mount a title bid, his tempo-based style will be crucial whether that be off the bench or from the start. Nevertheless, Partey is likely to return to the starting lineup in his stead as the Ghanian provides more solidity in front of the back four with Arteta describing him as \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/2023\/jul\/22\/arsenal-will-not-sell-partey-despite-rices-arrival-insists-arteta\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"s2\">super important<\/span><\/a>\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Expect Leandro Trossard to come in for Martinelli on the left wing. Despite lacking the Brazilian\u2019s fear factor, Trossard has been more effective with two more goals than Martinelli in all competitions this season and providing the 84th-minute equaliser against Chelsea after coming off the bench. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Read More: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/10\/02\/arsenal-pedro-neto-transfer-links-discussed\/\" target=\"_self\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>\u2018Could be One to Watch\u2019: Fabrizio Romano Clarifies Arsenal\u2019s Links to \u2018Incredible\u2019 Star\u2019<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The ever-reliable Takehiro Tomiyasu is expected to come into defence with Zinchenko likely to make way. The versatile defender can play anywhere across the back four but has not started a game since the dreadful defeat away to Lens in the Gunners\u2019 last Champions League outing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Arsenal\u2019s Recent Form and Tactics<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The manager seems to have favoured playing with two holding midfielders and Martin Odergaard as a number 10 of late instead of playing with two number 8s with Kai Havertz next to the club captain. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Read More: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/10\/01\/ben-white-new-contract-arsenal\/\" target=\"_self\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>\u2018After Martin Odergaard\u2019: Arsenal Now Look to Secure New Deal for \u00a3120K Per Week Emirates Star<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This decision may be a forced one with the German taking his time to find his form at his new home but there is no doubt that the solidity of two holding midfielders brought them success in the top-of-the-table clash with Manchester City. The Gunners will set up in a 4-3-3 with the left back inverting into midfield to create an overload to break through the Sevilla press. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Arsenal Injuries to Consider<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The flurry of short-term injuries Arsenal were dealing with before the international break has thankfully subsided with William Saliba, Saka, Trossard, and Martinelli all involved against Chelsea. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The only long-term injury remains Jurrien Timber with the summer signing not expected to return until the spring. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Arsenal Predicted Lineup<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomiyasu, Rice, Partey, Odergaard, Saka, Jesus, Trossard.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arsenal travel to the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium for a crucial Champions League match against out-of-form Sevilla who are winless in their opening two group stage matches.
