Both Mikel Arteta and Diego Simeone have some big decisions to make, as Arsenal will feel extra pressure to go for a more attacking lineup as they are at home and know the onus is on them to come flying out of the traps. But Atletico are used to this kind of situation and always seem to thrive as the underdog and will be extremely dangerous on the counter.

Below are the Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid predicted lineups, with analysis on how Arteta and Simeone might do.

Arsenal predicted lineup

——- Raya ——-

—- Mosquera —- Saliba — Gabriel —- Hincapie —-

—— Zubimendi —- Rice ——

—— Saka —— Eze —— Trossard ——

——- Gyokeres ——-

It seems like Piero Hincapie will come in at left back after being rested at the weekend, while it wouldn't be a surprise to see to come in at right back as has struggled in recent weeks. Martin Zubimendi should come straight back in to start in midfield despite youngster putting in a great display in midfield at the weekend against . is battling to be fit so he may only be on the bench. In attack it has to be the quartet of Saka, Eze, Trossard and Gyokeres. Saka and Trossard were exceptional at the weekend against Fulham as extra creativity flowed. Having Saka back fully-fit is a huge boost for Arsenal in the final few games of the season. Gyokeres is also in the best form of his season and is leading the line so well, scoring goals and linking up play. Arteta should be brave with his team selection and this attacking unit has to start.
