ARS Vs LEI Fantasy Team Probable Playing 11 And Match Report: Arsenal’s backline slowly taking shape into a lethal unit under Arteta’s reigns
When Arteta was appointed Arsenal’s new manager, the Spaniard knew his fast task would be to address the defensive issues engulfing his side. He implored his side’s defenders to work on their wayward brand of defensive, making them go through arduous and gruelling procedures to overhaul an atrocious brand of defending.
Further bolstered by new additions to the backline, Arteta has successfully moved in the right direction uptill now. The defensive side of the game has clearly been on an uptick since his arrival with arsenal no longer considered a side who can be wiped the floor with.
The side’s new found defensive resillinace and gallantry was on show in the club’s 1-0 defeat to Manchester City, one where they made life extremely tricky for a lethal attacking unit. While the attacking side of the game has downlinked meanwhile, the sings allude towards a promising time for the club this season.
ARS Vs LEI Fantasy Probable Winner
After schooling Manchester City to hit them for five, Leicester City have gone two ties without a goal. And with Arsenal giving the best of teams cold feet with their defence, we envision Leicester City left downtrodden today as well with the home side pulling off a win.

Goal-Keeper
For large periods of his side’s contest the last time around, Kasper Schmeichel came up with a string of heroic moments. He was the only reason the side was in the contest as long as it was with him staving away almost everything lined up his way.
Defenders
Given Arsenal’s massively improved sound and compact brand of defending, it was only rightful of us to opt for a quartet from the club. Also, with Leicester City going goalless in their last two encounters, this can easily end up into a shut down in Arsenal’s favour.
Player who have been crucial to Arsenal’s massively overturned defending are new additions Gabriel Magalhaes and Kieran Tierney. The two are joined up with Hector Bellerin who has the one assist this season with David Luiz wrapping up the set of picks from the side.
Midfielders
Finally making his debut for the club in the Europa League, Thomas Partey showed why Arsenal had broken the bank for him. The CDM was everywhere, a player whose penchant for gobbling up attacks saw him leave the opposition in a quandary.
Harvey Barnes who has scored on the one occasion makes an advent into our side from the visiting team with Namplays Mendy’s ability to break up play and win the ball for his side makes him the second part of the duo from the club.
Strikers
Having worked his way back from an injury, Jamie Vardy looks set to get the go ahead for this one. He’s the side’s top scorer with five goals, a figure which made him an instant pick for us.
Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang finally broke out of his scoring lull with a goal in the Europa League to see him link up with Alexandre Lacazette who is the home side’s top scorer with three goals.
Captain And Vice-Captain
Aubameyang’s one goal and assist in the league see us make him our captain while Gabriel is the vice-captain.
