Arsenal host West Bromwich Albion in tonight's late Premier League kick-off.
The Gunners are very much out of contention for the European places, but they will be aiming to finish as high as possible with four games to play.
The north London giants beat the Baggies 4-0 in the reverse fixture, and a victory tonight would relegate the Midlands outfit from the top-flight.
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Predicted Line-up:
Mat Ryan has started two of the previous three league encounters, and he may get the nod over Bernd Leno between the sticks tonight.
In the backline, there could be multiple changes. Hector Bellerin and Kieran Tierney could make way for Calum Chambers and Cedric Soares respectively in the full-back positions.
Tierney has just returned after a month-long lay-off with a knee injury, and he could be handled with caution. There will be an enforced change in central defence with Gabriel likely to replace the injured Pablo Mari.
Granit Xhaka is sidelined with a groin problem, and has been ruled out of the encounter. Meanwhile, Thomas Partey look far from his normal self in midweek, where he lost possession on multiple occasions.
He could drop to the bench. Dani Ceballos and Mohamed Elneny produced a solid midfield display at St James' Park last weekend, and they could be paired alongside each other once more.
Further forward, there could be a complete reshuffle. Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and Emile Smith Rowe could drop to the bench. Nicolas Pepe, Willian and Gabriel Martinelli are likely to replace them.
Alexandre Lacazette could be tasked with leading the line ahead of club-captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Frenchman is the Gunners' top scorer this term with 17 goals in all competitions.
Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1): Mat Ryan; Calum Chambers, Rob Holding, Gabriel Magalhaes, Cedric Soares; Dani Ceballos, Mohamed Elneny; Nicolas Pepe, Willian, Gabriel Martinelli; Alexandre Lacazette.
