While Arsenal must play a relatively strong side against Girona, there is one area where a change can definitely be made and that is between the sticks.

Neto is yet to make an appearance since his deadline day loan move from Bournemouth and tonight's game in Catalonia presents a perfect chance to hand him his debut. David Raya deserves a significant rest having played all but two of Arsenal's game this season so his Brazilian teammate can step in tonight.

An appearance may be crucial for Neto to prove his worth to the Gunners squad as we head into the final days of the window. With some Premier League options available for loan, Arsenal may need to cut the goalkeeper's move short if they are to bring in one of those candidates. While Arteta has previously stated he isn't interested in terminating the loan, it would be hard to argue against doing so in favour of a much more needed option.
