The victory over Crystal Palace saw Rice being substituted due to a hamstring injury, and Gabriel being forced off with a knee issue. Arteta hopes both players will be fit for the upcoming trip to the City Ground. However, his plan to start Martin Odegaard, Rice, and Thomas Partey together in midfield for the first time in the Premier League has been put on hold due to Partey’s injury. The article speculates on how Arteta might set up his team for the next game in the East Midlands.
In goal, Raya is expected to start despite some inconsistent performances. White and Zinchenko are likely to play in defense, with Gabriel hoping to start alongside Saliba in the center. In midfield, Odegaard and Rice are expected to play, with Havertz filling in for the injured Partey. The forward line could feature Saka, Jesus, and Martinelli, with Martinelli hoping to start after an impressive performance off the bench in the previous game.
El artículo especula sobre la alineación que podría utilizar Arteta para el próximo partido en el Este de Midlands. Rice y Gabriel sufrieron lesiones durante el partido contra Crystal Palace, y Arteta espera que ambos jugadores estén listos para el próximo partido. Sin embargo, la lesión de Partey ha obligado a posponer el plan de alinear juntos a Martin Odegaard, Rice y Thomas Partey en el centro del campo por primera vez en la Premier League. Se espera que Raya esté en portería, con White y Zinchenko en defensa, y Gabriel esperando regresar al equipo titular.
En el centro del campo, se espera la presencia de Odegaard y Rice, con Havertz ocupando el lugar de Partey. En la delantera, Saka, Jesus y Martinelli podrían formar el tridente ofensivo, con Martinelli esperando comenzar el partido después de una actuación impresionante desde el banquillo en el partido anterior.
