Arsenal will lock horns with Club Brugge at the Jan Breydel Stadium on Wednesday night as they look to secure a good result on the road in the UEFA Champions League. The Gunners suffered a tough 2-1 loss away at Aston Villa recently, so they would be eager to bounce back by putting in a good performance in midweek.
Mikel Arteta will stick with his favoured 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make a few changes to his starting XI for this game. Gabriel Martinelli, Noni Madueke and Myles Lewis-Skelly could all play from the start of this contest.
4-3-3 Arsenal Predicted Lineup To Face Club Brugge
Defence
David Raya will feature in between the sticks for the Gunners after conceding two goals in his last outing. Jurrien Timber will play alongside Piero Hincapie at the centre of the Arsenal backline as they look to keep things solid at the back throughout the 90 minutes.
Ben White will fill in as the right-back, while Myles Lewis-Skelly hopes to prove his value on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the freedom to go forward and express themselves inside the opponent’s half.
Riccardo Calafiori is a slight concern ahead of this game, but should be fit to offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.
Midfield
Arteta could name a midfield three of Mikel Merino, Christian Norgaard and Ethan Nwaneri as they focus on establishing their superiority over the opposition at the centre of the park. All three of them need to move the ball well if they want to create enough chances for Arsenal to secure a convincing win this Wednesday night.
Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi will be rested on the bench as they wait for their chance to shine in the second 45 minutes if required.
Attack
Gabriel Martinelli will try to catch the eye on the left flank, while Noni Madueke looks to put his pace to good use as the right-sided wide player.
Viktor Gyokeres will lead the line for the North London club up top. He has to find a way to cause some problems for his marker during the game.
Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the latter stages of the game if needed.
