Arsenal’s defence features a near-perfect four

Kieran Tierney made the return to first-team action against Manchester City and played the full ninety minutes. That said, I don’t think the Scotsman will be playing in this one as he’ll be resting for the Leicester match, where he is most needed.

That said, Cedric Soares will take his place at left-back as he is more than capable of doing so. On the other side will be the speedy Hector Bellerin and they will partner the two centre backs, Gabriel Magalhaes and David Luiz. Not quite perfect, but certainly solid.
