RB – Takehiro Tomiyasu
It feels like we have been predicting the Japanese international to start for the best part of a month, only for him to be left out, but it seems the fullback is finally ready to be reintroduced into the starting eleven.
The Gunners’ medical staff have been very careful with Tomiyasu’s recovery from a calf problem, but he did come on as a substitute (briefly) against United, so he should now be ready to replace Cedric on the right-hand side of defence.
