David Raya is the preferred goalkeeper over Aaron Ramsdale. Raya has started 26 matches in the Premier League this season, keeping 12 clean sheets in the process. He also started nine out of ten of Arsenal\u2019s Champions League matches. He is also leading the Premier League Golden Glove award.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This has been helped by a steady defence, which has been the strong point for Arteta\u2019s side. Takehiro Tomiyasu started at left back against Bayern Munich in the second leg, yet Zinchenko has started the past three league matches. Jakub Kiwior has been the regular starter at left back, and started the first leg against Bayern, but was subbed off at halftime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">William Saliba and Gabriel are the constant centre-back duo. The last time Saliba failed to play a full 90 minutes in the league was in the final group stage match in the Champions League away to PSV Eindhoven. The last time Gabriel failed to play a full match came back in August in the third match week of the season at home to Fulham. Ben White has been the constant at right back and won the Player of the Month for March.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/04\/20\/arsenal-striker-experiment-end\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Striker Conundrum That Could Ruin Arsenal\u2019s Title Charge<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The midfield has consisted primarily of Declan Rice, Jorginho and captain Martin \u00d8degaard. \u00d8degaard was the only midfielder to start against Luton Town earlier in the month, in which he scored the opener. Jorginho was replaced in the least league game by Havertz, who slotted into \u00d8degaard\u2019s position forcing him to play more central.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The front three have changed as of recently. Saka consistently started at right wing. He has scored twice in his last four matches. Jesus started the last league game as a striker. However, Havertz has primarily started as a striker, as he did in both legs against Bayern. Martinelli returned to start at left wing coming back from his foot injury, replacing Trossard who started against Villa.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Recent Form<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Arsenal had an incredible unbeaten league run since the start of the year. However, former manager Unai Emery was able to break the streak on the weekend against Aston Villa, swinging the title into Manchester City\u2019s favour. In their last five league games, The Gunners have picked up a total of ten out of a possible fifteen points. This is the second best with only Manchester City boasting a greater record as of recently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/04\/19\/premier-league-wolves-vs-arsenal-best-bet\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Wolves vs. Arsenal Best Bet<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Arsenal were able to defeat Sheffield United 6-0 and Brentford 2-1 before gaining a vital goalless draw at the Etihad Stadium at the end of March. This match ended Arsenal\u2019s eight-match win streak within the league, however, the point maintained their position at the top of the league.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In their following league match, Arsenal beat Luton Town 2-0 at home. They then went on to beat Brighton 3-0 away at the Amex Stadium, with goals coming from Saka, Havartz and Leandro Trossard who came off of the bench to score against his former club.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">However, after their 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League Quarter Finals, The Gunners then fell to a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa. After City\u2019s win against Luton, meant they were replaced at the top of the league. Fortunately for Arteta\u2019s side, Liverpool lost 1-0 to Oliver Glasner&#8217;s Crystal Palace at Anfield, being the first team to win at Anfield since Jesse Marsch\u2019s Leeds last season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Yet, Arsenal will be looking to turn their fortunes around after being eliminated from the Champions League after losing 1-0 away to Bayern at the Allianz Arena.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Injury News<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Arsenal are currently without any injuries with\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.standard.co.uk\/sport\/football\/arsenal-fc-injury-update-odegaard-timber-latest-news-return-dates-b1151402.html#\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Jurrien Timber gradually returning<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0from his ACL injury. He picked up his ACL at the start of the season. Timber would be a significant addition to the Arsenal squad when he is fully fit, with Arteta stating \u201che plays in both positions right and left full-back in relation to the game and the players we have available.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">However,\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.arsenal.com\/news\/every-word-mikels-pre-wolves-press-conference\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Mikel stated<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0that Timber would not be featuring in the match, stating \u201cIt is too soon. He\u2019s going to play a game with the under-21s and after that, we will see better where he is, and how he felt. He looks really good in training but it\u2019s that last step now.
