Unai Emery has chosen to field what potentially looks like a 3-5-2 formation, with Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leading the Arsenal attack.
Huddersfield might have not expected the lineup and shape that Unai Emery has chosen to go with for the Saturday match. Not only do Arsenal welcome back Granit Xhaka into the starting eleven, but the manager has also gone with what looks like a 3-5-2 formation, with Stephan Lichtsteiner the third of the central defender alongside Shkodran Mustafi and Sokratis.

What is exciting about the entire shuffle is that we see Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang start upfront as a pair, with a three-pronged central midfield of Matteo Guendouzi, Lucas Torreira and Granit Xhaka to support the two.
