Mikel Arteta will set his men up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make a whole host of changes to his first XI for this contest. Neto, Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus could all get a chance to play from the start of this game.
4-3-3 Arsenal Predicted Lineup To Face Bolton Wanderers
Defence
Neto will function as Arsenal’s first-choice keeper as he looks to keep a clean sheet at the Emirates in midweek. Jakub Kiwior will operate alongside Maldini Kacurri at the centre of Arteta’s defence as they look to keep things solid at the back during the game.
Ben White will fill in as the right-back while Riccardo Calafiori hopes to catch the eye on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to get forward and express themselves in the Bolton half at every chance they get.
William Saliba and Gabriel will offer cover for the centre-back positions on the bench.
Midfield
Arteta could opt for a midfield three of Myles Lewis-Skelly, Thomas Partey and Jorginho as they try to establish their dominance over the opposition at the centre of the park. All three of them need to move the ball well if they want to create enough chances for the Gunners to secure a convincing win this Wednesday night.
Declan Rice will be rested on the bench as he waits for his chance to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if needed. However, Martin Odegaard remains sidelined for Arsenal due to injury.
Attack
Raheem Sterling will try to give a good account of himself on the left flank while Ethan Nwaneri gets a chance to shine as the right-winger. Gabriel Jesus will lead the charge for the North London club in the final third. He has to find a way to be a constant menace in front of the Bolton goal.
Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli will make up the numbers on the bench.
