David Raya, Ben White, Gabriel Magalhaes, and William Saliba formed a formidable partnership that made Arsenal the best defensive team in the league last season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/08\/22\/three-arsenal-players-fpl-gameweek-2\/\" target=\"_self\">FPL Tips: Three Arsenal Players You Need to Have for Gameweek 2<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Club captain Martin Odegaard, club record signing Declan Rice and the experienced Thomas Partey are expected to start from midfield after a strong showing in the season opener against Wolverhampton Wanderers.<\/p>\n<p>The two goalscorers from the previous game &#8212;- Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz &#8212;- are all set to keep their place in the first team alongside the exciting Brazilian winger Gabriel Martinelli.<\/p>\n<p>[tgdcta items=&#8221;1&#8243; id=&#8221;180457&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3>Arsenal Recent Form and Tactics<\/h3>\n<p>The North Londoners started the season off on the right note with a convincing 2-0 win over Gary O&#8217;Neil&#8217;s side. The Gunners will be wary of the threat Emery&#8217;s team possesses after losing both their games to Aston Villa last year, which ultimately cost them the Premier League title.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/08\/21\/arsenal-eddie-nketiah-nottingham-forest-2\/\" target=\"_self\">Clubs &#8220;Close to Agreeing&#8221; \u00a330 Million Fee for &#8220;Sensational&#8221; Arsenal Striker<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Arteta has stuck with a 4-3-3 formation during his time in North London which sees the full-backs invert into the midfield while in possession.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the personnel, the Spanish manager prefers to play this style of football, which allows for an extra player in midfield. Zinchenko will likely invert from his left-back slot to play alongside Partey.<\/p>\n<p>In this setup, Rice is given a license to roam further up the field. When Jesus plays as the striker, he allows the wide players to cut in and attack the opposition goal, while Havertz plays more as a target man for the Gunners.<\/p>\n<h3>Arsenal Injuries to Consider<\/h3>\n<p>Kieran Tierney and Takehiro Tomiyasu are currently out with injuries for the Gunners. However, they are both expected to return to training within a month&#8217;s time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/08\/20\/arsenal-loan-aaron-ramsdale-wolves\/\" target=\"_self\">Arsenal Receive Tempting Offer From Premier League Side for \u2018Fan Favourite\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Arsenal Predicted Lineup<\/h3>\n<p>GK &#8211; David Raya<\/p>\n<p>RB &#8211; Ben White<\/p>\n<p>CB &#8211; William Saliba<\/p>\n<p>CB &#8211; Gabriel Magalhaes<\/p>\n<p>LB &#8211; Oleksandr Zinchenko<\/p>\n<p>CDM &#8211; Thomas Partey<\/p>\n<p>CM &#8211; Declan Rice<\/p>\n<p>CM &#8211; Martin Odegaard<\/p>\n<p>RW &#8211; Bukayo Saka<\/p>\n<p>ST &#8211; Kai Havertz<\/p>\n<p>LW &#8211; Gabriel Martinelli<\/p>\n<p>[tgdcta items=&#8221;1&#8243; id=&#8221;180457&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arsenal will travel to Villa Park to face former manager Unai Emery&#8217;s side as they look to build on their winning start to the Premier League season.
