Premier League title contenders, currently top two in the table, Arsenal and Manchester City, will meet early in the FA Cup 1/16 final. This cup match will be the first official meeting between the two teams this season, and it is also an opportunity to test each other.
As Pep Guardiola's apprentice, how will Arteta, who have not met Manchester City in the league this season, line up? For the sake of the league, Arteta should carry out part of the rotation, but in order to be able to perceive City's strength in advance, it may be full of the main team.
Goalkeeper:
Matt. Turner: So far this season, Turner has had a lot of opportunities in the Europa League and FA Cup, maybe he is preparing for the cup;
Right-back:
Tomiyasu Kenyi: In the league game against Manchester United, he replaced Ben at half-time. White, for this this cup will be his good chance;
Central Defender:
Saleba: He has been excellent with the Gunners so far this season and although he missed the game against Oxford United, he can start with this game;
Holding: Gabriel has been in the Premier League and against Oxford United this season, so rest may be the best, for which Holding can try;
Left-back:
Zinchenko: This will be Zinchenko's first match against Manchester City since coming to Arsenal. And since joining Arsenal, he has been crucial to Arsenal;
Midfielder:
Odegaard: He has been in good form in the Premier League since the beginning of October, and it is even more impressive considering a two-month suspension of the season;
Thomas: If Arsenal want to stop Manchester City from gaining a creative fulcrum, then Thomas is that destructive force;
Xhaka: He has become a key and mature presence for the Gunners and this game will be the moment when he plays an important attribute;
Forecourt:
Trossard: Came off the bench in the last minute against Manchester United and instigated the killer goal so he could start, after all, Saka needed to rest;
Nketiah: There are still five to six weeks to go before having to face the competition of Jesus, who is currently absent, and now, it is Nketiah who makes the most of the opportunity;
Martinelli: Smith, who only sat on the bench for a few minutes after groin surgery. Rowe may be in the starting line-up too early, so Martinelli will need to play the lead. #阿森纳VS曼城 #
