Arsenal vs Manchester City predicted XI: Alright then, we’re back

Attack
Arsenal’s attack was the biggest question mark as the pause took hold. They were still producing goals, but there didn’t seem to be a lot of confidence in what they were producing. Still, the results were what mattered, and they were scraping out the results.
For this one, it’s highly likely that Arteta turns to three of his top goal producers with the most experience—Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on the left wing, Alexandre Lacazette up top, and Nicolas Pepe on the right wing.
Of course, this is another area where a lot could change. Lacazette has been inconsistent all year, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see him given a chance but, if it doesn’t pan out, taken off for either Bukayo Saka or Gabriel Martinelli, with Aubameyang moving upfront.
Meanwhile, I’m just excited to see Pepe back out there, razzling and dazzling and proving to all the haters that he is still worth everything we spent on him.
