Willian
Having many great performances under his belt against Manchester City already, Willian will be excited for his first with Arsenal.
Willian is a direct player, which will serve Arteta well against his former club. Especially if Ceballos is brought on from the bench, Willian can look to make runs in behind the City defence. If not, he will look to feed Aubameyang as he done well in his short time at Arsenal. Chelsea fans often criticised Willian but they will be the first to tell you, he is often a man for the big occasion.

Lacazette has had an incredible start to Arsenal life this season, as he often does. Scoring some impressive goals already, Lacazette mustn’t let the misses he incurred against Liverpool get the better of his confidence. After all, he was the only Arsenal player that scored in this match anyway.
Lacazette has a tendancy to find the right position at the right time, which may be the best way to break down this Manchester City defence that doesn’t like to be tested. It’ll be a battle of trying to outsmart one another, but I’m confident that Lacazette can have a field day if he has the right mindset.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
And if not Lacazette, then Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will certainly punish the Citizens. He is going through a dry patch of form but there’s no better club to bring back his goal scoring form than against City.
Aubameyang needs no explanation. He is simply clinical, energetic and terrifying to defend against. If he is on top form, then so will Arsenal be.
How do you think Arsenal will lineup?
