David Raya to return, Havertz slots into old role as Arteta makes 3 changes - predicted Arsenal XI vs Porto

Here's how Arsenal may line up when they take on Porto in the second leg of their last 16 Champions League encounter.

In this piece, we'll look at how the Gunners may line up against Porto. With goal-scoring a priority, it is likely that Arteta will field a very attacking XI - as such, some of their more defensive-minded players could miss out.
