Arsenal predicted lineup against Man United, Vieira switch position, Jesus make the starting lineup. – pre – season Friendly Match…

Arsenal will face Manchester United in a friendly match at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles as part of their pre-season tour of the United States.

The Gunners kicked off their tour with a match against Bournemouth, where Fabio Vieira scored the opening goal before Antoine Semenyo equalized with a deflected strike.

Karl Hein then saved two penalties in the shootout to secure a 5-4 victory for Arsenal.

With new signings Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli, and Gabriel Magalhaes in the squad, Mikel Arteta has more options to choose from. Let’s take a look at the possible starting XI for Arsenal.

Karl Hein – Goalkeeper

Karl Hein had a slow start on Wednesday but emerged as the hero during the penalty shoot out.

It’s unlikely he will play the full game, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see either Tommy Setford or Lucas Nygaard coming off the bench.

Ben White – Right back

Ben White was outstanding as a right back on Wednesday. He is expected to continue in the team, especially with Tomiyasu unavailable.

Jurrien Timber – Centre back

Jurrien Timber’s versatility against Bournemouth may have surprised some, but not Mikel Arteta. With Gabriel still unfit and Saliba unavailable, don’t be shocked to see him starting again.

Oleksandr Zinchenko – Left back

Oleksandr Zinchenko will be given more playing time by Arsenal, similar to Kiwior, in the upcoming match against Manchester United. He showed promise in his return game against Bournemouth.

Jorginho – Defensive midfield

Jorginho is likely to start in the defensive midfield position, with the intention of increasing his playing time. He is expected to split game time with Thomas Partey.

Martin Odegaard – Central midfield

Martin Odegaard, who impressed in the second half against Bournemouth, will continue to feature in the central midfield position.

As he faces tougher opponents on Saturday, anticipate him to elevate his performance even further!

Fabio Vieira – Central midfield

Fabio Vieira’s performance on the right wing was intriguing to watch on Wednesday.

However, it is expected that he will primarily play as a central midfielder this season.

Leandro Trossard – Right wing

Leandro Trossard, like several others, is increasing his playing time at the moment. He managed to score the winning goal against United in May. Will he be able to repeat the same feat again?

Gabriel Jesus – Centre forward

Gabriel Jesus has had the opportunity to play on the left and up front, but this upcoming chance is significant, especially with Kai Havertz unlikely to start.

It is anticipated that he will make the most of this opportunity.

Reiss Nelson – Left wing

Nelson was in contention for the man of the match award until Odegaard took the spotlight on Wednesday. With Arsenal lacking options up front, he may get another chance to start.
