Arsenal team news

Minutes were shared out in the US, but we'll likely see Mikel Arteta hand more Game time to those who he thinks will play a part in Arsenal's Premier League opener against Nottingham Forest.

The Spaniard, however, has several absences to contend with on Wednesday. Oleksandr Zinchenko and Reiss Nelson are both certain to miss out, while record-signing Declan Rice and Folarin Balogun are doubts after missing the club's final game of the tour against Barcelona.

Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber could earn starts, with Leandro Trossard deserving of a place in Arteta's XI.

Arsenal predicted lineup vs AS Monaco

(4-3-3): Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber; Partey, Havertz, Odegaard; Saka, Jesus, Trossard.

AS Monaco team news

3-4-2-1 advocate Adi Hutter will be without star defender Axel Disasi, who looks set to complete a move to Chelsea, while the perpetually injured Breel Embolo is also poised to miss out.

Wissam Ben Yedder, once linked with a move to north London, will lead Monaco's line, while new arrival Philipp Kohn will likely start between the sticks for the visitors.

AS Monaco predicted lineup vs Arsenal

(3-4-2-1): Kohn; Matsima, Maripan, Okou; Vanderson, Camara, Fofana, Henrique; Golovin, Volland; Ben Yedder.

Arsenal vs AS Monaco score prediction

Hutter's teams are typically aggressive and vertical, although it'll take some time for this Monaco squad to attune themselves to their new manager's demands. The absence of Disasi also plays into Arsenal's hands.

While the Gunners have endured a mixed pre-season so far, they impressed against Barcelona with Arteta perhaps starting to gain clarity regarding his preferred XI. They should take advantage of an adjusting Monaco side and win comfortably on home soil in the Emirates Cup.

Prediction: Arsenal 4-1 AS Monaco

Thanks to wins over Manchester City and Luton Town respectively, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur sit atop the league table heading into the October international break and are now the only unbeaten teams left in the division.
