Here is our Arsenal predicted lineup for the 20:00 kick-off.

Arsenal Predicted Lineup vs Atletico Madrid

How Arsenal Have Lined Up Recently

Mikel Arteta has rarely drifted from his favoured 4-3-3 formation, as they did last time out against Fulham. David Raya started in goal, with a back four of Jurrien Timber, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, and Riccardo Calafiori. This defensive unit continues to be difficult for any opposition to breach.

In midfield, Arsenal lineup with Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi, and Eberechi Eze. Out wide, it was Leandro Trossard and Bukayo Saka, with Viktor Gyokeres starting in attack.

Arsenal’s Recent Form

Arsenal are eight games unbeaten since their 1-0 defeat to Liverpool. The Gunners have recorded seven wins and a draw in that run of games. Arteta’s men have also won both Champions League games 2-0.

Despite injuries to key players already this season, the summer signings have added vital strength in depth, which should allow the Gunners to challenge on all fronts.

As the club prepares for a busy period through to the end of the year, Arteta’s squad looks in good shape, with key players still to return to further strengthen the red half of North London.
