After losing 3-1 to the Champions last week its time to go again. this time against the physicals challenging Sheffield United. We might look at this game and say easy 3 points because Sheffield have not registered a goal yet tis season and are sitting at the bottom of the table with zero points. But its this type of game that they will look to correct their mistake and kick off their season, so Arsenal need to be prepared and ready. Our last 2 Premier League games were not great, we struggle to create chances and break teams down and we seem to create a lot of defensive errors putting ourselves in trouble and under pressure a couple of times. Sheffield are hungry for points and this game will be important to them.
PREDICTION: WIN / 2-1
If we get our team selection right we are able to take all 3 points today. Regardless of game at Liverpool, there’s still a lot of good spirit and winning mentality in the Arsenal dressing room. We are predicting an Arsenal win.
FORMATION: 3-4-3 / 4-3-3
Arteta has deployed a 3-4-3 system that transit to a 4-3-3 when we are in possession. We are going to predict the same.
PLAYERS:
This is a game I want to see Arteta rotate a little bit. We need to see a few of our creative players on the field from defense to attack. Leno is keeping his place we saw on Thursday why he’s the number 1. Cedric in for Bellerin at right back easily because his delivery is very good we will need it to bypass Sheffield good defense and he will also do better defensively against a very physical side. We expect Holding to sit this one out for Luiz. Holding has played in every game so far and his inability to pick a pass from the back will cost us. Luiz is more creative and has a beautiful long pass we expect him to play alongside Gabriel who we think was missed last week against Liverpool. Tierney should be fit and ready to go. We expect Saka to start in the wing back / left midfield role ahead of Maitland-Niles. Xhaka will continue in midfield this time alongside Ceballos. This is the type of game for him and we all saw what he did against Liverpool. Aubameyang on the left, Lacazette as the main striker and one creative change brining in Pepe for Willian. Pepe hasn’t start off well but he did pick up his pace and we need to test him before going on international break. Willian can impact the game from the bench.
