Former Arsenal star, Paul Merson, has advised manager Mikel Arteta to make significant changes ahead of their Premier League clash against Leeds United on Saturday.
Merson believes it is time to shake up the starting XI by introducing Viktor Gyokeres and Gabriel Martinelli after Arsenal’s 3-2 loss to Manchester United last weekend.
Arteta had left Gyokeres and Martinelli out of the lineup against Manchester United, choosing to start Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Trossard instead.
Leeds away won’t be easy, no doubt about it,” Merson stated during an interview with Sportskeeda.
“Viktor Gyokeres and Gabriel Martinelli should come into the starting line-up for this game.
“Leandro Trossard will give you a bit of guile, but I think Martinelli’s pace will be really useful against Leeds.”
