Arsenal official starting eleven to face Monaco released

Arsenal have officially announced their starting lineup for the much-anticipated UEFA Champions League clash against Monaco, set to kick off in a few minutes at the Emirates Stadium. With high stakes in Group Stage standings, Mikel Arteta has opted for a strong XI as the Gunners aim to secure three crucial points.
Arsenal Starting XI:
Goalkeeper: Raya
Defenders: Partey, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly
Midfielders: Rice, Merino, Odegaard (C)
Forwards: Saka, Martinelli, Jesus
Substitutes:
Neto, Setford, Timber, Tierney, Robinson, Heaven, Monlouis, Jorginho, Nwaneri, Trossard, Sterling, Havertz
This lineup sees some notable inclusions and tactical adjustments. Thomas Partey has been named in the starting XI, possibly slotting into a defensive role, while young talent Lewis-Skelly makes a rare start, showcasing Arteta’s trust in the academy product. The experienced partnership of Saliba and Kiwior in central defense will be crucial in nullifying Monaco’s attacking threats.
In midfield, Declan Rice continues to anchor the side, flanked by Martin Ødegaard and summer signing Mikel Merino, providing a mix of creativity and physical presence. Upfront, Arsenal’s formidable attacking trio of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Gabriel Jesus will be tasked with breaking down Monaco’s defense.
On the bench, Timber and Tierney return as options, adding depth to the defense, while Trossard, Sterling, and Havertz provide attacking alternatives should Arsenal need fresh legs.
This match is pivotal for Arsenal as they aim to strengthen their position in the group and secure qualification to the knockout stages. With this dynamic and balanced lineup, the Gunners will look to dominate proceedings and deliver a decisive performance in front of their home crowd.
