Arsenal vs Norwich predicted XI: Nicolas Pepe or bust

Wingbacks

Yet again, a situation of “why change?” Mikel Arteta has a good system at wingback where has plenty of options and plenty of production. Hector Bellerin should see his spot returned to him despite Ainsley Maitland-Niles finally getting his chance against Sheffield.

Frankly, Maitland-Niles didn’t do enough to challenge Bellerin and, that being the case, Bellerin should feel pretty secure in holding onto his role for the foreseeable future. And he should, honestly. He’s a damn good player and he’s capable of surprises.

Opposite him, the main man Kieran Tierney will keep his spot. Speaking of a damn good player, he’s been one of the best since the restart and I think we’re all pretty excited to see as much of him as humanly possible.

Just please, no injuries.
