Three possible formations that Arsenal could use in the absence of some key players as Mikel Arteta and his squad gear up for this important match, the question arises: how will Arsenal line up against Leeds?
The first lineup involves keeping Rob Holding in defence to avoid rushing back their star defender, while Thomas Partey will remain in his previous right-back position instead of Takehiro Tomiyasu.
This will see a starting XI of Ramsdale; White, Holding, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Partey, Xhaka, Odegaard; Saka, Jesus, and Martinelli.
The second lineup features resting Hale End star Bukayo Saka, who has played a tremendous amount of minutes this season.
This could be a wise move, especially after the international break, where Saka was repeatedly fouled and kicked.
The starting XI for this lineup would be Ramsdale; White, Holding, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Partey, Xhaka, Odegaard, Jesus, Martinelli, and Trossard.
The final lineup sees Emile Smith Rowe making his return, allowing him to fill in for Saka on the wing.
The starting XI would then be Ramsdale; White, Holding, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Partey, Xhaka, Odegaard; Saka, Jesus, and Smith Rowe.
Meanwhile, Ben White’s injury has caused some concern for Arsenal, prompting discussions about backup plans.
William Saliba has been confirmed as a backup option for the Gunners, providing some much-needed depth in defence.
