Riccardo Calafiori would try to prove his worth as the right-back while Jakub Kiwior fills in on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them will get the freedom to get forward and express themselves in the opposition half.
Jurrien Timber will be named on the bench as he offers cover for the defensive positions.

Midfield
Declan Rice, Thomas Partey and Kai Havertz will make up Arteta’s midfield as they focus on establishing their superiority over the opposition at the centre of the park. Arsenal would rely on the creativity of Rice and Havertz as they look to secure a convincing win against the Saints this weekend.
Jorginho and Mikel Merino will have to be content with a spot on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if required.
Attack
Gabriel Martinelli could get a chance to impress as the left-sided wide player while Bukayo Saka hopes to make a difference as the right-winger. Leandro Trossard will spearhead Arsenal’s attack in the final third. He would have to carry most of the goal-scoring burden for the Gunners in the opponent’s half.
Gabriel Jesus will make up the numbers on the bench as he waits for his chance to make an impact in the latter stages of the game if needed.
