Arsenal Predicted Lineup & Team News vs Mansfield<\/b><\/h2>\n

How Arsenal Have Lined Up Recently<\/h3>\n

After their recent 2-2 draw with Wolves, Arsenal were roundly criticised. However, since that slip-up, the Gunners have impressed with a resounding 4-1 win over Tottenham. They have also recorded a vital win over Chelsea, and most recently away at Brighton.<\/p>\n

Arsenal Team News<\/h3>\n

In the pre-match press conference<\/span><\/a> before the Brighton game, Mikel Arteta discussed Kai Havertz, and said: \u201cSo he’s done a part of the session, we will have to wait and see whether he’s available and in which condition. The rest I don\u2019t think there will be anybody else.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Gunners boss confirmed: \u201cBen (White) is not available.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also teased a potential return for Martin Odegaard, saying: \u201cWe will see.\u201d When quizzed further on his status, Arteta said: \u201cYeah, we have to wait and see how comfortable he is to do certain actions.\u201d<\/p>\n

With a few extra days, it remains a possibility that we could see Odegaard, White and Havertz involved at some point. The only long-term injury remains Mikel Merino<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n
