Strongest Arsenal XI To Face Lyon: Paulista To Partner With Koscielny

Arsenal Predicted Lineup vs Lyon

To be honest, the jokes about Arsenal only winning the Emirates Cup can be forgotten after the FA Cup triumphs over the last two years. Arsenal are all set to play the Emirates Cup, now a firm fixture and a favourite for many neutrals who get to see some brilliant attacking football over the days of the tournament.

This season will be no different and Arsenal welcome Lyon in their first game on Saturday. While the Gunners have been tracking the Ligue 1 top scorer Alexandre Lacazette, this could be the perfect time to check him out in person and maybe seal the deal with Lyon. Both teams are known to play a fantastic brand of football and this match should be entertaining. Arsenal might not have bought a lot of players so far in the window, but they do have a lot of players coming back from injury, we predict the Gunners starting line-up for this friendly.

Petr Cech

Time for the main man for Arsenal’s season to start, Cech should get the go ahead in this game, watch out, this could be something special for Arsenal fans.

Hector Bellerin

One of the silent stars from Arsenal’s season last year, Bellerin would be looking to make one of the full-back positions his own this season.

Gabriel Paulista

Paulista had a decent first season, or half a season for Arsenal after arriving from Villareal. He should be looking to do better and hopefully regularly play for the first team this season.

Laurent Koscielny

The leader of the defence and one of the best defenders in the Premier League, Laurent has come a long way and no Arsenal team can go ahead without his presence.

Keiran Gibbs

With Nacho Monreal’s future up in smoke, it could be time for Gibbs to slot into the first team and solve one of the smaller problems that Arsene might be facing.

Francis Coquelin

A stand-out season last year lays the foundation for Coquelin to continue his good work and that should be on show when he plays against Lyon.

Jack Wilshere

A deeper role for Wilshere can be tested out in this preseason game and who knows, if he does well, that could be his position for the rest of the season.

Theo Walcott

Having a full preseason under him could be the key for Theo to do well for Arsenal this season. He might have missed a chunk of last season but a fresh and fit Theo Walcott is music to Arsenal fans’ ears.

Aaron Ramsey

Ramsey felt a little out of place last season when he was tried out on either side of the central attacker but this should be his best position, right down the middle.

Mesut Ozil

This is the perfect time to tinker with the team, Ozil might be looking to make a couple of positions his own and one of the winger spots is up for grabs, can the German cement his position?

Danny Welbeck

‘Welbeast’ didn’t have the greatest of first seasons for Arsenal, but a new season brings new hope and the Englishman would be looking to make an impact in this game.
