While the road will get rougher down the line, inevitably and eventually, it’s true- the Gunners can make a lot of noise in this European tournament. In the meantime though, we have a massive North London Derby on our hands! It’s a clash of two of the four remaining unbeatens in the Premier League. This could be a classic edition in the series, maybe even on par with what 2008’s version had to offer.

In the meantime, here is our best prediction of what lineup manager Mikel Arteta will start with in this one. We’re predicting Kai Havertz gets dropped again (or at least he deserves to be), Leandro Trossard is now undroppable (yes, we know that is not an actual word) and Aaron Ramsdale comes in for David Raya as the rotation continues.
