Mikel Arteta&#8217;s side can go four points clear of Manchester City, who don&#8217;t play until tomorrow. <em>Express Sport<\/em> looks at the XI Arteta could pick, which could upset a couple of star players.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Goalkeeper &#8211; Raya<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>David Raya unsurprisingly came back into the side for the Champions League match against Lens in midweek. Aaron Ramsdale put in a shaky performance against Brentford last weekend despite keeping a clean sheet.<\/p>\n<p>Raya is Arteta&#8217;s No 1 and that will seemingly stay that way unless he suffers an injury. The Spaniard has looked more assured of late between the sticks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Defence &#8211; Tomiyasu, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The first player Arteta could upset is Ben White. The right-back hasn&#8217;t started any of the last three matches as he recovered from injury.<\/p>\n<p>He came off the bench late on at Brentford and played the second half against Lens. Takehiro Tomiyasu has played well in his absence and deserves to keep his place, though White may feel aggrieved as he barely put a foot wrong before his injury.<\/p>\n<p>William Saliba and Gabriel should continue in the middle of defence ahead of a busy period. Oleksandr Zinchenko also came off at half-time on Wednesday and should be well-rested for this one.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Read more&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>Man Utd controversy as Galatasaray goal &#8216;shouldn&#8217;t have stood&#8217; in thrilling draw<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Arsenal-team-news-Wolves-Mikel-Arteta-5095435.jpg?r=1701454241047\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>Midfield &#8211; Rice, Odegaard, Havertz<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Arteta may also be in the bad books of Leandro Trossard if he doesn&#8217;t make the starting XI for this one. The Belgian dropped out of the side on Wednesday and didn&#8217;t even come on as a substitute.<\/p>\n<p>He has impressed of late and started in midfield against Brentford. But Kai Havertz has done enough in his last two outings to keep his place.<\/p>\n<p>Declan Rice is getting better with each passing game. Martin Odegaard will complete the midfield three having scored against Lens.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd told of free transfer to fix Andre Onana issue with David De Gea return[QUOTES] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd on red alert as top boss with &#8216;more flair&#8217; than Sir Alex wants Prem move[GOSSIP] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd&#8217;s Bruno Fernandes stopped from entering dressing room by drugs officials[NEWS] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/affiliateswidgets\/175x108\/1701355713208.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/affiliateswidgets\/115x50\/1701355529520.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/affiliateswidgets\/115x50\/1701355529520.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Watch Premier League matches throughout December completely FREE thanks to Amazon Prime&#8217;s free trial.<\/p>\n<p>For 30 days, you can watch Premier League matches for free without needing to pay a penny.<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards, it costs \u00a38.99 a month but you get free shipping on Amazon products and more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attack &#8211; Saka, Jesus, Martinelli<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Arteta will want to pick his preferred front three as much as he possibly can.
