Arsenal vs Olympiakos predicted XI: Easier than last time?

Attack

Also fairly heavily rotated in the first leg, and I hope to see more of that here. Keep Nicolas Pepe on the bench, don’t bother Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, let’s trust the fate of this attack to three guys who are desperate to prove something.

That starts up top with Alexandre Lacazette. I greatly admire Mikel Arteta sticking to his guns, leaving Lacazette on the bench against Everton, and starting Eddie Nketiah. That was undoubtedly a tough call to make, but it was a class decision. Look for him to do the same here, spurring a need to impress from the French striker.

On either side of him, let’s hope to see the return of Reiss Nelson on the one side. He’s had small breakthroughs throughout the season in the small pockets of time he’s been healthy, but now that he’s back to health, with the season winding down and so much talent around him, he needs every chance to thrive and this is one such chance.

Lastly, the nearly-forgotten man Gabriel Martinelli. When you nearly forget about a man of this caliber because the attack is blossoming without him, you know you’re in a good place. Expect him to be hungry to prove something as well.
