100% passes, 100% duels won : Arsenal player delivered an outstanding performance against Preston North End and deserves to start on Saturday…
Arsenal’s standout player achieved a flawless performance against Preston North End, recording a perfect passing rate and winning every duel.
It is essential for him to be included in the starting lineup on Saturday.
Arsenal secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Preston North End in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday evening, marking a return to form.
Manager Mikel Arteta implemented eight changes to the squad following the 2-2 draw against Liverpool in the Premier League last weekend.
The Gunners showcased their dominance at Deepdale, with opportunities to extend their lead beyond three goals.
Mikel Merino was selected to start against Preston, delivering an impressive first half before being substituted for Kai Havertz.
The Spaniard netted his first goal for Arsenal during the exciting draw with Liverpool on Sunday.
Although he did not have any clear scoring opportunities in this match, he excelled in midfield, achieving a passing accuracy of 100 percent.
Merino also triumphed in all his duels, successfully completing several tackles.
After a challenging return from the international break, where he struggled against Bournemouth’s high press, Merino has shown significant improvement in recent matches, particularly in a central midfield role.
His previous role as a number 10 against Bournemouth was less effective, but he has now reverted to a more familiar position and is regaining his form.
He is anticipated to partner Declan Rice in midfield for Saturday’s league match against Newcastle United.
With Gabriel Magalhaes uncertain due to a knee injury, Ben White may be called upon to join William Saliba in central defense.
This scenario could lead to Thomas Partey continuing at right-back, with Jurrien Timber on the left.
Arsenal currently trails leaders Manchester City by five points, making the upcoming fixture at St James’ Park crucial for their title aspirations.
