Arsenal take on Everton in the final of the Premier League Asia Trophy on Saturday.
Arsene Wenger gave chances to several youngsters in the 4-0 win over a Singapore XI on Wednesday, but is likely to field a stronger team against Arsenal’s Premier League rivals.
Here, fanatix predicts how the Gunners could line up…
GK: Petr Cech
Wenger has confirmed that the former Chelsea stopper will make his debut against the Toffees, so excited Arsenal fans will get to see their esteemed new signing in their colours for the first time.
RB: Hector Bellerin
The Spaniard replaced Mathieu Debuchy for the final 20 minutes against the Singapore XI and provided the assist for Chuba Akpom’s hat-trick goal. He should get a longer run out on Saturday.
LB: Kieran Gibbs
Nacho Monreal was superb last season and deservedly usurped Gibbs, but the Spaniard has been tipped to leave this summer and so the England international will need to be ready for the season’s start.
CB: Laurent Koscielny
Koscielny was rested earlier this week as Gabriel Paulista partnered Per Mertesacker, but, with a trophy on the line, Wenger should turn to his best centre-back.
CB: Calum Chambers
The £16m signing has fallen behind Bellerin and Debuchy in the right-back pecking order, but might be given a chance to impress in the centre of defence against strong opposition.
