Emi Martinez starts in goal once again behind a defensive line of Pau Torres, Ezri Konsa, Ian Maatsen, and Matty Cash. Amadou Onana and Boubacar Kamara amke up the double pivot once again. John McGinn, Marco Asensio, and Morgan Rogers fill in as the attacking midfielders. Ollie Watkins starts as the striker.<\/p>\n

Notable Changes<\/h3>\n

The only optional shift is Maatsen coming in at left-back for Lucas Digne. The other is the mandatory move of McGinn replacing the suspended Jacob Ramsay in a fairly standard move for Emery who rotated the squad for the Champions League and FA Cup runs.<\/p>\n
