Arsenal’s starting eleven against Brentford has been confirmed, featuring notable changes as Mikel Arteta opts to drop a £45 million player.

 

The team will adopt their standard 4-3-3 formation for the Premier League match today. Arteta is looking to secure consecutive victories in the league as they prepare to face Aston Villa this evening. Here’s the anticipated lineup for the match.

 

Arsenal is set to pursue consecutive Premier League victories as they welcome Aston Villa this evening.

 

The Gunners achieved a 2-1 comeback victory over Tottenham Hotspur earlier this week, showcasing their dominance and potentially deserving a larger margin of victory.

 

Manager Mikel Arteta may implement a few adjustments for the match against Unai Emery’s team today.

 

Formation: 4-3-3

 

Predicted Line-up:

 

David Raya delivered another commendable performance in goal against Spurs, making a vital save to thwart Dejan Kulusevski, although he was ultimately beaten by Heung-min Son due to a significant deflection. The Spaniard is expected to retain his position as the starting goalkeeper.

 

In defense, no alterations are anticipated.

 

Ben White and Riccardo Calafiori have returned to training, but the match may come too soon for them. Jurrien Timber is likely to start at right-back.

 

Similarly, Myles Lewis-Skelly is expected to maintain his position on the left. The young Gunners player excelled against Spurs, completing 94 percent of his passes, along with six recoveries and three tackles.

 

William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes are confirmed starters in central defense.

 

In the midfield, Arteta might consider a single change. Thomas Partey could be replaced by Jorginho in the number six position.

 

The £45 million acquisition had a mixed outing in the north London derby, being dribbled past on several occasions and losing possession multiple times, including an error that led to a Spurs shot on goal.

 

Jorginho is poised to take over for the Ghanaian midfielder, with Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard likely to occupy the central midfield roles ahead of him. In the attacking front, Raheem Sterling may be benched.

 

While Sterling demonstrated good passing accuracy against Spurs, he played it safe and failed to pose a significant goalscoring threat, aside from an early counter-attack.

 

He could be replaced by Gabriel Martinelli, whose speed may prove crucial in outmaneuvering Villa’s defense.

 

The Brazilian is expected to take his position on the right wing. Leandro Trossard is assured of his role on the left flank after his outstanding goal that secured victory against Spurs on Wednesday night.

 

Kai Havertz has struggled in his role as the central striker but continues to be the primary forward with Gabriel Jesus sidelined due to a long-term injury.

 

The German must elevate his performance and contribute with goals.

 

This is how Arsenal might set up against Aston Villa.
