CM - Declan Rice. The £105m signing has been Arsenal's best player all season. He is confident, composed and consistent. He seems to be the man for the big occasion too, since he is more often not the best player on the pitch for Arsenal when it matters most. As a former Bayern Munich transfer target, he will bring his A-game and it will be an interesting midfield battle.
CM - Jorginho. Had a decent runout at the weekend as he came off the bench to get an assist in the Premier League. Jorginho is one of the more senior players at Arsenal so he will be a great asset to Mikel Arteta, who would benefit from the composure which Jorginho brings to the midfield.
CM - Martin Odegaard. He was Arsenal's best player in their last Champions League match against Porto. He also got a goal in his last Premier League match against Brighton. As the Arsenal captain, he will be the first name on their team-sheet, understandably given his quality.
