The Arsenal lineup has been incredibly consistent throughout the campaign with Mikel Arteta rarely deviating from his best XI and only when forced to through injury. However, with the biggest game of the season against Manchester City this Wednesday fast approaching, the Spaniard could be faced with a crucial selection decision.
Gabriel Martinelli’s form has somewhat dipped in recent fixtures and the Brazilian has failed to record a goal or an assist in 2023. His last came against Brighton as Arsenal ran out 4-2 winners on the south coast.
The January transfer window saw the necessary acquisition of Leandro Trossard. Sporting director Edu Gaspar had originally targeted Mykhailo Mudryk but the Gunners were forced to move to the Belgian as Chelsea hijacked the deal with a major financial bid for the Ukrainian.
