Is Arteta New Formation Paying Off

Arsenal ended the Premier League weekend in style as last-minute goals from Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus gave Manchester United a 3-1 victory over their rivals at the Emirates Stadium.



Ahead of the game against Manchester United, Arteta was asked if he would like to return to a similar squad.

'I can't do that. I have different players. I can't do that. (Alexander) Zinchenko is injured, Granit (Xhaka) is away, what should I do? Arteta said.

Despite the comments, Arteta appeared to be back to his winning formula when he visited the Red Devils.

Gabriel Maghayes was back alongside William Saliba at the heart of the Gunners' defence, while Ben White and Zinchenko were reinstated at full-back.

The big question is whether Arteta plans to return to basics against United, or whether his departure was forced by Partey's injury.

It will be interesting to see whether Arteta sticks with that squad when the Premier League resumes after the international break.

All six of PSG's games this season have featured the young player, who captains the France U21 team coached by Arsenal legend Thierry Henry. He will likely play tonight in Le Classique for PSG against Olympique de Marseille.
