(4-2-1-3) Academy striker and Merino upfront”, Predicted Arsenal line up vs PSV – as Mikel Arteta makes three changes to His previous XI against Forest
Arsenal have nothing riding on Tuesday’s Champions League clash as they visit PSV Eindhoven on Matchday 6 having already won Group B.
The Gunners secured their place in the round of 16 as group winners after thumping RC Lens 6-0 last time out in the competition.
While the visitors have little to play for, PSV are fighting for their place in the knockouts. A dramatic come-from-behind 3-2 win over Sevilla bolstered the Dutch side’s chances of advancing considerably, PSV are currently three points ahead of Lens heading into Tuesday’s games.
Arsenal’s harsh defeat at Aston Villa on Saturday means Mikel Arteta will be hoping to see a reaction from his players ahead of the hectic festive period.
Here’s our preview of Arsenal’s trip to PSV on Tuesday night
PSV Eindhoven team news
The hosts will be without the suspended Hirving Lozano and exciting playmaker Noa Lang is a doubt.
Armel Bella-Kotchap is also unlikely to feature, while Jordan Teze ruled out until the end of the year.
Bosz should name a similar lineup to the one he deployed for the 2-0 victory over Heerenveen on Thursday night.
Arsenal team news
The boss will make drastic changes to his starting XI in midweek given that Arsenal aren’t playing for anything. While it’s unlikely that we’ll see 11 changes on Tuesday night, the likes of White, Jorginho, Leandro Trossard, and Nawneri are sure bets to start.
PSV Eindhoven vs Arsenal predicted lineups
PSV: Benitez; Dest, Silva, Boscagli, Van Aanholt; Veerman, Til, Saibari; Bakayoko, De Jong, Tillman.
Arsenal: Raya; Saliba, White, Gabriel, Calafiori; Jorginho, Odegaard, Rice, Trossard, Nwaneri, Merino.
