BREAKING NEWS: Big Leandro Trossard update tonight

Sources believe that Trossard is more likely to start than Raheem Sterling if both are fit due to his understanding of the team and the system - and whilst he would probably start on the left, he can also feature up front and in attacking midfield, too. Arteta has liked Trossard leading the line before, with the Belgian swapping with Gabriel Martinelli in-game - and as such, he can't be ruled out to start against Ange Postecoglou's men.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on the touchline

Trossard enjoyed his best season in the capital yet with 17 games in 46 games in all competitions, and with Martinelli having failed to impress last season, you can understand the Belgian's frustrations.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Leandro Trossard has 39 goals and 25 assists in 173 Premier League games for Brighton and Arsenal.

Bukayo Saka is the only sure-fire starter on the right-wing, but the quintet of Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, Trossard, Martinelli and Sterling are all battling over three attacking places, with Jorginho and Thomas Partey likely to start in the double-pivot in midfield.

Havertz has the most experience in the hole, but Jesus hasn't featured much and so the German could start up front; which would leave Trossard as the choice to play in the hole, and Sterling may then rival Martinelli for the starting berth on the left.
