Arsenal will entertain Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night as they try to secure all three points at home in the Premier League. The Gunners would be eager to bounce back in the league after suffering a disappointing 4-1 loss at the hands of Manchester City recently.
Mikel Arteta will opt for a 4-3-3 formation once again and is expected to keep changes to a minimum for this game. Hence, Gabriel Jesus will lead the line for the North London club on the attacking end of the pitch in this midweek London derby.
4-3-3 Arsenal Predicted Lineup To Face Chelsea
Defence
Aaron Ramsdale will feature in goal for Arteta’s team after shipping in four goals in his last league appearance. Gabriel will once again play along with Rob Holding at the heart of the Arsenal backline as they hope to defend their penalty box well throughout the 90 minutes.
Ben White will fill in as the right-back while Oleksandr Zinchenko hopes to catch the eye on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them would be eager to make a difference for Arsenal out in the wide areas.
Kieran Tierney will provide cover for the defensive spots on the bench.
Midfield
Arteta will name a midfield three of Granit Xhaka, Thomas Partey and Martin Odegaard as they try to move the ball well at the centre of the park and orchestrate some clear-cut chances to win this London derby at the Emirates Stadium.
Jorginho will be named on the bench as he awaits his opportunity to make an impact as a second-half substitute if required.
Attack
Gabriel Martinelli will try to put his pace to good use on the left flank while Bukayo Saka hopes to weave his magic from the right.
Gabriel Jesus will lead the line for the North London club in the final third. He has to find a way to cause some problems for the opposition defenders in midweek.
Eddie Nketiah and Leandro Trossard will have to be content with a place on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the final quarter of the game if the Gunners are in need of a goal by then.
