David Raya reclaimed the goalkeeping gloves after being unavailable for selection against Brentford in the solid 1-0 victory. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A lot of Arsenal players have been in good form of late but no one more so than Japanese defender Takehiro Tomiyasu.

Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice completed the midfield trio as they both continue to prove how essential they are going to be for Mikel Arteta\u2019s side. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Arsenal\u2019s attacking fluidity has been questioned of late as they look to prioritise defensive solidity and control. But any doubt of the quality of the Gunners\u2019 attack was swept away with the emphatic six-goal win with six different goal scorers. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Changes We May See<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In defence White may feel aggrieved if he were to miss out this weekend having been so important to the successful season last year. But the Englishman will no doubt play a huge role for Arteta with the hectic Christmas schedule on the horizon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <\/strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/11\/27\/arsenal-napoli-victor-osimhen-transfer-links\/\" target=\"_self\">\u2018Anything Can Happen\u2019: Fabrizio Romano Reports That \u00a3104M Star\u2019s Agent \u2018Held Talks\u2019 With Arsenal<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Leandro Trossard was just beginning to take over the high left eight role before Havertz began to show the reason why Arsenal splashed \u00a365 million on the German international in the summer. Nevertheless, the versatile Belgian is one of the smartest attackers at the manager&#8217;s disposal and if he misses out against Wolves, he is likely to start at Luton on the following Tuesday. <\/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 options the Gunners now possess in almost every position make them tactically a nightmare to break down for whoever the opposition. The shape out of possession has been dramatically improved this campaign likely aided by the addition of Rice at the base of the midfield. The former West Ham player&#8217;s defensive solidity means that Zinchenko from left back can create even more of a threat when he inverts from left back. <\/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 November international break came at a good time for Arsenal with White, Odegaard and Jesus all welcomed back. But the North London side still find themselves missing Thomas Partey, Emile Smith-Rowe, and most recently Fabio Vieira, as well as long-term absentee Jurrien Timber. Academy graduate Smith-Rowe is expected back before Christmas but the remaining are unlikely to be back in action until the new year. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Arsenal Predicted Lineup<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Raya, Tomiyasu, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Rice, Odegaard, Havertz, Saka, Jesus, Martinelli.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arsenal could not have dreamt of being in a better place coming into December having confirmed top spot of Group B in the Champions League and propping up the Premier League table after victory against Brentford last time out.
