Former Arsenal stars agree on Leandro Trossard decision vs Man City amid Mikel Arteta dilemma

Mikel Arteta has a decision to make regarding whether to start January signing Leandro Trossard ahead of Gabriel Martinelli against Manchester City. Arsenal are preparing for their biggest game of the season so far but the Spaniard has a slight dilemma on his hands in attack after Trossard's goal against Brentford at the weekend.

The Gunners dropped points for a second consecutive match in the Premier League but were not helped by Lee Mason's costly VAR error that saw Ivan Toney's equaliser be allowed to stand. Arteta has spoken out on Mason's error ahead of the huge clash against City on Wednesday but is looking ahead rather than using it as an excuse in the title race.

Trossard's performance against the Bees has sparked speculation that he could start ahead of Martinelli given the Brazilian's lack of form in front of goal in recent weeks. The Belgian has already scored against City this season during his time under Roberto De Zerbi and Arteta may select him ahead of Martinelli at the Emirates Stadium tomorrow night.
