Pundit Fabrice Muamba has predicted Arsenal forward Leandro Trossard to be dropped against Liverpool.
The £90,000-a-week [GiveMeSport] man has been virtually flawless from day one at the Emirates Stadium since his arrival in January.
As Arsenal face the ultimate litmus test of facing Liverpool at Anfield, pundit Fabrice Muamba expects the in-form Leandro Trossard to get benched.
Pundit Fabrice Muamba foreseen Leandro Trossard exclusion vs Liverpool
The Belgian international was described as a ‘really clever’ signing by Alan Shearer and rightfully so, as he has wracked up goals and assists in a number of positions for the league leaders.
But as Arsenal gear themselves up for an away trip to lock horns against Liverpool, pundit Fabrice Muamba said that he can see Leandro Trossard be excluded from Mikel Arteta’s starting XI on Sunday.
“Do I see Arsenal changing the team? Yes, [Bukayo Saka] in and changed for Trossard. Again, Trossard may feel hard done by thinking he’s done really well, but I can see why”, he said on his YouTube channel.
“This is the benefit of having a good manager and a very good squad you can swap like for like and quality for quality. That’s something Liverpool don’t have at the moment.”
It is likely that the Arsenal attacker gets dropped
As the Gunners demolished Fulham 4-1 on Saturday, the ex-Brighton star started in place of Bukayo Saka, whilst assisting Gabriel Jesus in what was yet another impressive performance.
But it is likely that Arsenal boss Arteta reinstates Saka in his line-up against Liverpool, which would automatically led to Trossard getting dropped, as the pundit claimed.
After Gabriel Jesus has come off the back of a brilliant brace and Gabriel Martinelli continues to make headlines week in, week out, the front three that kickstarted the side’s title challenge looks the likeliest to be fielded.
