Calafiori, Madueke And Trossard To Start | 4-3-3 Arsenal Predicted Lineup Vs Mansfield Town | OneFootball

Arsenal will face off against Mansfield Town at Field Mill this Saturday afternoon as they look to earn a good result on the road in the FA Cup. The Gunners managed to secure a narrow 1-0 win over Brighton and Hove Albion recently, so they will be eager to keep their good form going in domestic football.

Mikel Arteta will set his side up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make a lot of changes to his first team for this game. Riccardo Calafiori, Noni Madueke and Leandro Trossard could all play from the start of this clash.

4-3-3 Arsenal Predicted Lineup To Face Mansfield Town

Defence

Kepa Arrizabalaga will feature in between the sticks for the Gunners as he looks to keep a clean sheet away from home. Gabriel will function alongside Riccardo Calafiori at the centre of the Arsenal backline as they look to keep a good shape on the defensive end of the field.

Jurrien Timber will try to put in a good performance as the right-back, while Piero Hincapie hopes to catch the eye on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the freedom to go forward and express themselves inside the opponent’s half.

Cristhian Mosquera will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Midfield

Myles Lewis-Skelly, Christian Norgaard and Kai Havertz will make up Arsenal’s midfield. All three of them need to retain possession well at the centre of the park and engineer some clear-cut chances in the final third.

Martin Zubimendi, Declan Rice and Eberechi Eze will be rested on the bench as they wait for their chance to influence the game in the second half if required.

Attack

Noni Madueke will hope to prove his worth as the right-sided wide player, while Leandro Trossard looks to make a difference on the left flank.

Gabriel Jesus will lead the line for the North London club up top. He has to find a way to be a real threat in the final third.

Viktor Gyokeres and Bukayo Saka will make up the numbers on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the final quarter of the game if needed.
