Eze, Norgaard And Hincapie To Start | 4-2-3-1 Arsenal Predicted Lineup Vs Sporting CP | OneFootball

Arsenal will entertain Sporting CP at the Emirates Stadium this Wednesday night as they look to secure a good result at home in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal clash. The Gunners suffered a tough 2-1 loss at the hands of Bournemouth recently, so they would be eager to put in a much-improved showing in midweek.

Mikel Arteta will probably opt for the 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make some changes to his first team for this game. Eberechi Eze, Christian Norgaard and Piero Hincapie could all play from the start of this clash.

4-2-3-1 Arsenal Predicted Lineup To Face Sporting CP

Defence

David Raya will operate in between the sticks for the Gunners after conceding two goals in his last appearance. William Saliba will play alongside Gabriel at the centre of the Arsenal backline as they focus on keeping a solid shape on the defensive end of the field.

Piero Hincapie will try to prove his worth as the left-back, while Ben White looks to give a good account of himself on the other side as the right-back. Both of them will have to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.

Cristhian Mosquera will be named on the bench as he offers cover for the centre-back postions.

Midfield

Declan Rice and Christian Norgaard will anchor the midfield for Arsenal as they try to dictate the tempo of the game at the centre of the park.

The gifted trio of Leandro Trossard, Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke will play just ahead of them as part of Arteta’s attack. All three of them need to be at their best if the Gunners are to secure a positive result in midweek.

Martin Zubimendi and Max Dowman will have to be content with a place on the bench as they await their chance to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if required.

Attack

Viktor Gyokeres will spearhead Arsenal‘s attack up top. He has to find a way to be a constant menace in the final third.

Gabriel Jesus will be named on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the latter stages of the game if the Gunners are in need of a goal by then.
