Arsenal predicted lineup vs Liverpool: White in midfield in 4-2-3-1?
Forwards
Bukayo Saka (RW) – Let’s not mess about, Arsenal having the derby postponed was a relief solely on the basis of fitness. Saka already plays too much football and having had a week to rest up for this one means he’ll be in fine fettle.
If anything, he can start on the bench at home to Burnley in the Premier League if needs be. Should that game go ahead, of course.
Alexandre Lacazette (ST) – Someone who would have collapsed by the 20th minute if he started against Spurs, Lacazette’s effort and captain’s performance against Liverpool was stupendous.
He represents this club as well as anyone and if he can lead Arsenal into another final it takes him one step closer to a happy send off in north London.
Gabriel Martinelli (LW) – Still no Smith Rowe.
The Hale Ender may be back but there is no point rushing him just yet. Burnley is around the corner on the top four hunt and he can get a start there, while there is also a two and a half week break coming up. Martinelli will have fire in his belly for this and looks like getting another chance at pinning Trent Alexander-Arnold back.
