Arsenal Starting XI Prediction at Newcastle United
Second place versus thirteenth place doesn't sound like a massive matchup on paper, but this is Arsenal visiting Newcastle United. It's a matchup of last year's runner up and EFL Cup winners.

Both teams have injury and fitness issues to contend with, so … [Read more...] about Arsenal Starting XI Prediction at Newcastle United
Arsenal Starting XI Prediction at Port Vale F.C.
A score draw is a result that feels pretty much like it sounds- a true stalemate that leaves you right back where you were before kickoff.

Now both Arsenal (who visit Port Vale F.C.) and Man City (who travel to … [Read more...] about Arsenal Starting XI Prediction at Port Vale F.C.
Arsenal Starting XI Prediction vs Manchester City
We have not completed the UEFA Champions League matchday 1 as of yet, but so far, Arsenal have looked as good as anybody. The win over Athletic Bilbao came despite the North Londoners missing several key pieces, and while a couple of them could return on Sunday, they'll still be without the services of a couple important players. Obviously, this isn't the best time to be … [Read more...] about Arsenal Starting XI Prediction vs Manchester City
Arsenal Starting Lineup Prediction at Athletic Club (Champions League)
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has two major fitness concerns to contemplate before he fills out his team sheet at Athletic Club on Tuesday night.

The international break is nearly over, and it was kind to Arsenal FC manager Mikel Arteta and his squad. It does not appear that they'll head back into action with any new injury concerns.

Arsenal Starting Lineup Prediction at Liverpool
Given the mash unit that he's currently got on his hands, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is severely limited in his selection options for this weekend. Or at least he is up top and in the middle of the park. With so many injuries, at both of these position groups, the Arsenal lineup pretty much picks itself. Obviously, you want to go with the strongest lineup possible, at all … [Read more...] about Arsenal Starting Lineup Prediction at Liverpool
Arsenal Team News at Southampton: William Saliba, Mikel Merino, Jurrien Timber
Championship Sunday is basically a glorified friendly for Arsenal FC, who have already clinched runner-up status for the 2024-25 Premier League season. Therefore, we don't see any reason to risk center back William Saliba in this one. Fellow defender Jurrien Timber is already shut down for the remainder (which is now just one game). And Mikel Merino is suspended, so there you … [Read more...] about Arsenal Team News at Southampton: William Saliba, Mikel Merino, Jurrien Timber
Arsenal Team News vs Newcastle: Declan Rice, Mikel Merino, Leandro Trossard, Kai Havertz
Arsenal have all kinds of injury and disciplinary concerns as they prepare to host Newcastle United on Sunday. This is especially so in the final third, and also in the middle of the park.

Rice trained earlier today, so … [Read more...] about Arsenal Team News vs Newcastle: Declan Rice, Mikel Merino, Leandro Trossard, Kai Havertz
Arsenal Starting Lineup Prediction at PSG (Champions League)
Given that Arsenal trail PSG 1-0 after the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semifinal tie, they were hoping to build up some positive momentum on the weekend. Falling behind by a goal, with The Emirates leg already behind them, the Gunners needed a boost from their Premier League fixture as they head to Paris. Obviously, it didn't happen, as they fell 2-1 to AFC … [Read more...] about Arsenal Starting Lineup Prediction at PSG (Champions League)
