Mikel Arteta is presented with the chance to field his strongest attacking lineup when the Gunners face Brentford in the upcoming Premier League clash.
With Arsenal just one point behind league leaders Manchester City, this fixture provides an opportunity for the North London giants to leapfrog the Cityzens after the international break, and Arteta has received a timely injury boost.
Martin Odegaard, who has been absent from recent games due to concussion, is back in team training and is expected to be included in the starting lineup for the weekend clash.
The Spanish manager previously experimented with Kai Havertz in the number 10 role, but the German's performances lacked the desired cutting edge.
With Fabio Vieira and Emile Smith Rowe unavailable due to suspension and a knee injury, respectively, the team captain's return becomes crucial. The Norwegian has contributed five goals and one assist in 15 appearances this season.
On the wings, Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka are anticipated starters on the left and right flanks, respectively. Upfront, recent form suggests Leandro Trossard should lead the line, given his three-goal contributions in the last two games for the club.
Despite Gabriel Jesus returning from injury, Arteta may opt to ease him back into the squad. In summary, Odegaard's return, alongside the dynamic duo of Martinelli and Saka on the wings, and Trossard leading the line, forms the Gunners' most potent attacking quartet.
