The London club remains unbeaten, securing 4 wins and 2 draws from 6 games, including tough away fixtures against Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur. This impressive run highlights their status as one of the toughest teams in Europe’s elite club competition.
Arteta is likely to deploy his usual 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation during possession to allow for greater positional flexibility while shifting to a 4-4-2 setup when defending. William Saliba and Gabriel are expected to anchor the defense, with Declan Rice and Thomas Partey forming a midfield pivot. In attack, German international Kai Havertz is anticipated to lead the line.
