Arsenal face Slavia Prague on the road in the Champions League this evening.

Ahead of the game, manager Mikel Arteta could make four changes to the starting XI.

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Predicted Line-up:

David Raya is guaranteed to start in goal. He has kept three clean sheets in as many European games this season, and will be eyeing another shutout.

The defence could witness a couple of changes. Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori could be given a breather. Ben White and Myles Lewis-Skelly are likely to replace them in the right and left-back positions.

William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes are poised to continue in the heart of the defence. There will be an enforced change in midfield with Martin Zubimendi serving a one-game European suspension today.

Christian Norgaard is expected to start in the number six role in the Spaniard’s absence and could be accompanied by Declan Rice and Eberechi Eze. Eze will obviously play as the more advanced of the trio.

In the final third, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard are nailed-on starters on the right and left wing. With Viktor Gyokeres out injured, Mikel Merino looks set to start as the makeshift striker against Slavia.

Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Slavia: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Norgaard, Rice; Saka, Eze, Trossard; Merino.
