Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has named an unchanged lineup from the last Premier League game, with Bukayo Saka fit to start the North London Derby.
Mikel Arteta has not thrown in any surprises ahead of the North London Derby, as there is a familiar lineup from the Gunners. The Arsenal manager has not changed a single player from their last Premier League game, which was a goalless draw against Newcastle United.
Emile Smith Rowe makes the bench for the Gunners. But the starting lineup picks itself. Aaron Ramsdale starts in goal. He will have a back four ahead comprising Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, and Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Thomas Partey remains the firm choice as Arsenal’s holding midfielder, with Granit Xhaka and Martin Odegaard on either side. The trio returns to the eleven after getting some rest against Oxford United last weekend. Odegaard plays a bit more advance than shown in the team sheet and will hope to continue his recent good form for the Gunners.
The forward line is all too familiar, as Arteta has Bukayo Saka fit to start the North London Derby. The England international will start on the right side of the attack, while Gabriel Martinelli is the preferred choice on the left. Eddie Nketiah continues to lead the line in the prolonged absence of Gabriel Jesus.
Arsenal Starting Lineup: Ramsdale, Ben White, Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Zinchenko, Odegaard, Partey, Xhaka, Saka, Nketiah, Martinelli
