Here is my predicted Arsenal team to face Brentford today – What’s your’s?

My predicted line up for Brentford away by Daisy

Mikel Arteta and his Arsenal squad will travel over to Brentford tonight as we look to continue our good form after a long international break. Only Emile Smith Rowe, Thomas Partey and Jurrien Timber are definitely ruled out of contention and here’s how I expect us to line up against the Bees.

In goal Aaron Ramsdale will be starting, David Raya is ineligible to start as he’s on loan from Brentford and can’t play against them. Ramsdale hasn’t started in the Leage since our clash with Manchester United and will be a chance for him to prove himself a worthy backup.

In defence I expect a back four of Zinchenko, Gabriel, Saliba and Tomiyasu. Ben white is one player that we’re not 100% sure about, and we won’t know if he’s okay to start until the team sheet comes out. Maybe we could see him start, but if not I expect Tomiyasu to step in to RB. Gabriel and Saliba in the middle staying solid and Zinchenko at LB playing the inverted role.

In the midfield I expect Arteta to go back to full strength and put out a three of Jorginho, Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard. Odegaard has missed a fair few games recently due to injuries and a concussion that saw him out of contention for a few weeks, for me he comes straight back into the team to give us that little bit extra going forward. Rice is a no brainer, he’s probably been our best player all season and we look open without him on the pitch. And Jorgino sitting deeper to lock things up.

In attack I expect a front three of Saka, Jesus and Martinelli. Jesus comes straight back into the starting line up for me, he is our most dangerous centre forward, and although Trossard has looked good up top, I think Jesus comes straight back in. Saka and Martinelli on the flanks, bringing the pace and hopefully finding Jesus or the net.

So a 4-3-3

Ramsdale

Tomiyasu – Gabriel – Saliba – Zinchenko

Odegaard – Jorginho – Rice

Saka – Jesus – Martinelli

What’s your predicted line up Gooners?

  1. I didn’t see the Brazilians in Arsenal’s last training video on YouTube, so maybe we’ll play with Kiwior and Nelson:

    …….………….……. Ramsdale
    …… Tomiyasu . Saliba . Kiwior
    ………. Jorginho ……..… Zinchenko
    Saka …. Havertz …. Rice …. Nelson
    …………………….…. Nketiah

    1. Arteta in his press conference says Jesus and Matinelli are in contention.

      Nelson and Nketiah out. Instead of Nelson I guess Arteta would prefer Trossard. But I don’t mind Matinelli and Jesus coming from the bench in 2nd half we have UCL on Wedsday.

  2. Ramsdale
    Tomiyasu Saliba Gabriel Zinchenko
    Havertz Jorginho Rice
    Saka Jesus Trossard
    Odegaard doesn’t need to play directly from injury a second half appearance will be good same with Martineli he had a knock so it will be good for him to come later on,Nketiah should also come in for Jesus at around 70th min, later on also Kiwior for Zinch,Odegaard for Saka.

  3. Ramsdale
    Tomiyasu
    Saliba
    Gabriel
    Zinchenko
    Jorginho
    Rice
    Ødegaard
    Saka
    Martinelli
    Trossard

    Subs
    Hein,White,Jesus,Nelson, Kiwior,Elneny, Nketiah

  4. Daisy completely overlooks the inevitable fatigue from a long back flight homewith Jesus, having played the WHOLE of Brazils match, and lack of match tight fitness in both Jesus and Odegaard.

    I expect both to play some part, but much doubt Jesus will start and I also have some doubt whether Odegaard will start.

    SADLY, I expect HAVERTZ TO START TOO.

    Great to see our better keeper back though!

    1. The big German has to start and lead the line in this physical encounter, Hopefully he still got on his shooting boots fresh from scoring for his father land.

      –‘—White–‘Saliba—-Magahlease—Tomi
      ————-Eleney——-Rice
      —–Saka——–Odegaarrd——Tossard
      —————–Havertez

      The Egyptian looks up for the task and can now dip his bread in this one

      1. I’m completely with you on this one Jon, there is no need to mention nationality or should Raya be called the Spaniard, Ødegaard the Norwegian, or if Mertesacker was still playing, the OTHER big German? Bloody stupid if you ask me and somewhat disrespectful.
