The North London club currently lead the Premier League table after defeating Liverpool by a scoreline of 3-2.
Arsenal Vs Bodo/Glimt: Talking Tactics
Mikel Arteta will set his team up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make a couple of changes to his starting XI for this game. Eddie Nketiah will feature from the start while Fabio Viera gets the chance to impress at the centre of the park. Arteta will allow Matt Turner to feature in between the sticks as the shot-stopper looks to earn another clean sheet similar to his last outing.
Kjetil Knutsen will probably opt for a 4-3-3 formation allowing Runer Espejord to lead the charge against the opposition while Nikita Haikin continues to operate in between the sticks for his side. Joel Myuka will look to dominate from the right-wing position hoping to create enough opportunities from the wide areas.
