Arsenal predicted lineup vs Rangers: Nuno Tavares to start?

Forwards

Folarin Balogun (ST) – It’s a decision that many are hoping to see and one that is in with a chance of happening. Coming on at half-time for Eddie Nketiah last time out, it was Balogun who had the better 45 minute spell of the pair.

An awful early miss for Nketiah sadly can’t be put down to the fact it was the beginning of pre-season, meanwhile Flo showed willingness to take shots on whenever they presented themselves, regardless of the experienced bodies around him.

Both will probably get 45 minutes each and it would be nice to see Flo line up with the captain as they offer different qualities to complement each other.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (ST) – Which is exactly what will (might) happen!

To conclude a pre-season predicted lineup we have Aubameyang up top as he did in midweek. The combination with him and Nketiah doesn’t work – we also don’t care because it’s pre-season – but knowing Arteta won’t want defeat at his old stomping ground he may go for some big guns from the off.

It won’t be an easy game by any means and some pressure to set the tone early might do the trick.
