Arsenal will face off against PSV Eindhoven at the Phillips Stadium on Tuesday evening as they look to secure a good result in the UEFA Champions League. The Gunners suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Aston Villa recently, so they would be eager to return to winning ways in midweek.
Mikel Arteta will once again opt for the 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make a few tweaks to his first XI for this game. Eddie Nketiah, Reiss Nelson and Jorginho could all get a chance to play from the start of this European contest away from home.
David Raya will function in between the sticks for the Gunners after shipping in one goal in his last league outing. William Saliba will operate alongside Jakub Kiwior at the centre of Arsenal’s defence as they look to keep things solid at the back during the 90 minutes.
Ben White will fill in as the right-back while Oleksandr Zinchenko looks to catch the eye on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to get forward and join in on the attack at every chance they get.
Gabriel will be rested on the bench as he offers cover for the defensive positions.
Midfield
Declan Rice, Jorginho and Martin Odegaard will function as the central midfielders for Arteta’s side as they try to establish their dominance over the opposition at the centre of the park.
Kai Havertz will have to be content with a spot on the bench as he waits for his chance to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if required.
Attack
Reiss Nelson will hope to put his pace to good use on the right flank while Eddie Nketiah hopes to prove his worth as the centre-forward down the middle. Leandro Trossard will once again fill in as the left-winger after coming off the bench against Aston Villa.
Gabriel Jesus will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the final quarter of the game if the Gunners are in need of a goal by then.
