Saka, Gyokeres And Martinelli To Start | 4-3-3 Arsenal Predicted Lineup Vs Atletico Madrid
Arsenal will clash heads with Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano on Wednesday night as they look to secure a good result in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semifinal clash. The Gunners managed to earn a narrow 1-0 win over Newcastle United recently, so they would be full of confidence going into this game in midweek.
Mikel Arteta will set his men up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make some tweaks to his first-team for this clash. Bukayo Saka, Viktor Gyokeres and Gabriel Martinelli could get a chance to play from the start of this game.
David Raya will play in goal for the Gunners after he kept a clean sheet in his last outing. William Saliba will function alongside Gabriel at the heart of the Arsenal backline as they look to keep things solid on the defensive end of the field.
Ben White will try to catch the eye as the right-back, while Piero Hincapie looks to give a good account of himself on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to go forward and express themselves inside the opponent’s half.
