After such a huge win against Chelsea, Mikel Arteta had a big decision to make with the return of Takehiro Tomiyasu to full fitness in addition to Alexandre Lacazette. Consistency has stayed with Arteta for his tenure as head coach and manager.
That theme has continued with just the single change from the Arsenal side that beat the Blues. Cedric Soares comes in for Rob Holding with Ben White returning to centre-back. Tomiyasu does make the bench.
This was a pleasing sight for the supporters who have singled out a number of players to have big games today. Mohamed Elneny, Eddie Nketiah and Tomiyasu getting the limelight. Although there was some trepidation about Cedric’s return to the starting line-up.
