Bielsa reshuffles in Phillips’ absence as Aubameyang and Odegaard make Arsenal XI

1,089 Comments

The third of four Premier League matches to take place on Sunday sees Arsenal play host to Leeds United at the Emirates.

Kick-off in north London is at 16:30 GMT.

The visitors are without influential midfielder Kalvin Phillips (£4.9m) for this encounter, with the England international missing out with a calf injury.

Jamie Shackleton (£4.8m) comes in for Phillips in Marcelo Bielsa’s only change from Gameweek 23.

That alteration prompts a wider tactical reshuffle, however, with the Leeds boss confirming ahead of kick-off that Pascal Struijk (£3.9m) would fill in for Phillips in midfield.

Luke Ayling (£4.4m) will move across to centre-half as a result, with Shackleton deployed at right-back.

The Arsenal team news is no less interesting as captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.3m) returns to the starting XI for the first time since Gameweek 19.

Real Madrid loanee Martin Odegaard (£6.0m) is also promoted to Mikel Arteta’s line-up and makes his first start for the Gunners.

David Luiz (£5.4m) and Bernd Leno (£5.0m) are back after suspension, with Dani Ceballos (£4.7m) replacing the injured Thomas Partey (£4.9m) in midfield.

Mat Ryan (£4.2m), Alexandre Lacazette (£8.3m), Nicolas Pepe (£7.6m) and Rob Holding (£4.6m) all drop to the bench.

Arsenal XI: Leno, Bellerin, Luiz, Gabriel, Cedric, Xhaka, Ceballos, Saka, Smith-Rowe, Odegaard, Aubameyang.

Leeds United XI: Meslier, Ayling, Cooper, Struijk, Alioski, Dallas, Klich, Shackleton, Harrison, Raphinha, Bamford.

              Asked as to the protocols, Dyche said: "They'll have to have a medical view, but we made a normal substitution. They do checks to make sure you're okay, and he's fine in the dressing room, I'll leave him with the medical team."

              Where does this say he will play ?

              It's pending a medical review.

      The CS & OOP is alluring for Dallas, but when they can concede like they did today, its not great.

      Ings can score & although Wolves are a bit he, Traore & Neto can definitely run at that defense.

      I'd go Harrison I think. SOU with a weakened RB spot & Semedo actually isn't all that down that side either.

    From GW26 until 29 would you rather have

    Salah (Sheff Utd, Chelsea, Fulham, Wolves)

    Or

    Bruno (Chelsea, Palace, Man City, West Ham)

    Currently swaying towards keeping Salah. One must go for Kane.

          Yep. You can't have all 4 and BB. Although this way still leaves me in trouble for a BB unless Mitchell wins his spot back.

      No. Son is just a good asset as Kane. Another way to get him?

      Bam Raphina Leeds. Going to get that 3.9 Leeds defender. He’s good value and can rot on my bench after 25
