[4-3-3]: Odegaard and Trossard position changed- Arsenal returns back to their dangerous lineups as Arteta names a scary lineups against Nottingham Forest
Arsenal host Nottingham Forest at the Emirates on Saturday, with fans eagerly anticipating the Gunners’ predicted lineup amid key injury concerns and a crucial need for a win to maintain their top-four position.
They have tasted defeats twice in their last four games and are now nine points adrift of league leaders Liverpool. It’s pretty shocking to see Mikel Arteta’s men produce such results since they are considered as one of the favourites to lift the PL title this season.
The Forest game will also be a challenging one. The visitors have been a surprise package this season and are level on points with the Gooners at the fifth spot.
Their three-match winning streak was broken by Newcastle United at their home turf before the International break. Arsenal have a good record against the East Midlands club- three victories in their last four meetings since the start of the 2022-23 season.
They haven’t won a game at the Emirates since 1989. Although, history will favour Arteta’s team, Forest’s recent run can shift the momentum by their side if taken lightly.
A strong starting XI is necessary to avoid falling out of the top four. Many players got ample amount of time to rest during the break and we expect them to make it to this blockbuster weekend clash.
Here is how Arsenal could lineup against Nottingham Forest;
Defence: David Raya, Jurrien Timber, Gabriel Magalhaes, William Saliba, Riccardo Calafiori
Midfield: Declan Rice, Mikel Merino, Martin Odegaard
Attack: Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli
Arsenal predicted lineup vs Nottingham Forest: David Raya, Jurrien Timber, Gabriel Magalhaes, William Saliba, Riccardo Calafiori, Declan Rice, Mikel Merino, Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli.
