Arsenal team to face Man City – only one area causes disagreement.
It has to be said that Freddie Ljungberg has surprised a little with his team selections. He certainly surprised many with his positive team against West Ham. Will he surprise again today?
This is a snapshot of what the media are predicting and unexpectedly, there is general agreement.
Leno, Maitland-Niles, Chambers, Luiz, Kolasinac, Guendouzi, Torreira, Pepe, Ozil, Martinelli, Aubameyang
Leno, Kolasinac, Chambers, Sokratis, Bellerin, Guendouzi, Torreira, Pepe, Ozil, Martinelli, Aubameyang
Leno, Chambers, Luiz, Sokratis, Kolasinac; Torreira, Guendouzi, Pepe, Ozil; Martinelli, Aubameyang.

Defence seems to be the only area that there is disagreement, some are predicting that David Luiz will play, some that Bellerin will play while others are saying Ainsley Maitland-Niles.
There is unanimity with regrades to the midfield and forward line with every one of the outlets listed above going with Guendouzi, Torreira, Pepe, Ozil, Martinelli and Aubameyang.
That seems very positive and yet very risky, it leaves the midfield terribly exposed in my opinion.
