Arsenal vs Rennes predicted starting XI: Turn this thing around

No. 10 and Striker

There are literally no options here, unless you want to go rogue and predict Denis Suarez starting behind Eddie Nketiah, which I don’t recommend doing. This is where the attack will find its heart, primarily anyways. Having so many attacking options both out wide and on the overlap will give these two a wealth of options and, thankfully, they both thrive under such circumstances.

Mesut Ozil will always find space when there is space to be found, and when you think about how multi-pronged this attack is, Ozil should have a field day. He’ll have attacking fullbacks and driven attackers on either side and he’ll have who else but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who is ready to unveil his new celebration.

Aubameyang is coming off a fierce slump, which accounted for all of like, one and a half matches, and he still got a goal out of it. With the penalty lifting the weight off his back, Aubameyang is going to be raring to put in at least one goal in front of a rabid Emirates, with the club needing two goals at the very least to get through to the next round.

If ever there was a match made for these two, this is it. Is it too presumptuous to predict a masterclass?
