Arsenal Team News & Tactics
The removal of Tomiyasu could result in significant changes to their look and feel. However, Zinchenko is the most apparent choice to take the position of the Japanese full-back. In addition, Arteta might rearrange his midfield and might give up Eddie Nketiah or Kai Havertz.
Thomas Partey, who has started as a right-back in the first two games, might switch to the base of the midfield. In the middle of the field, Declan Rice will play on the left side. Arteta expects Zinchenko to fulfill the reversible duties that fall to his full-back. The manager will then need to select his first-choice striker, though.
Gabriel Magalhaes might make his first start of the season if Zinchenko is to start. William Saliba and Gabriel will both occupy the center position. All other team members will remain on the field, and Ben White will play right back as usual. However, Arteta might select Havertz above Nketiah if he were to select a striker.
