Martinelli could play upfront vs PSV

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta could opt for a change upfront when the Gunners host PSV Eindhoven in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 on Wednesday night.

The Gunners registered a stunning 7-1 win over PSV during the first leg on the road. Mikel Merino led the line for the London giants. He registered a goal and an assist for the club.

Merino continued in the same role versus United in the Premier League, but he could be given a breather during the return leg due to the significant advantage in the round of 16 tie.

There is a chance that Gabriel Martinelli will lead the attack following his return from a hamstring injury. The Brazilian made his comeback in the second half against the Red Devils.

Raheem Sterling could also get a rare opportunity on the right wing ahead of Ethan Nwaneri. Sterling has been dreadful on loan, but could get another opportunity to redeem himself.
