Partey, Kolasinac & 4 more players who should be key to good October for Arsenal

10 October 2020, 10:19

Arsenal have a tough fixture list after the international break. Manchester City, Leicester and Manchester United await the Gunners in the Premier League, with two Europa League mid-week group stage games adding up to the fatigue.

Tribuna.com takes a look at players whose individual performances will determine Arsenal's results this month.

The captain and the leader on and off the pitch was vital to our last season's success in the FA Cup.
He has bagged 2 goals in 5 games this season and fans are waiting for him to find his best goalscoring form after the break.
The victory against the Blades proves he needs to be used as a centre-forward and we expect Arteta to let Auba lead the line.
Hopefully, Pierre recovers from a groin issue he picked up in the Sheffield clash.

🇧🇷 Gabriel

The Brazilian centre-back waltzed into the Gunners' starting XI after arriving from Lille.
He has been a tight, tenacious, no-nonsense defender we have been waiting for since at least Koscielny's departure.
Gabriel's aerial ability should be Arsenal's secret weapon during corners.

The German remains a world-class goalie — he showed it again in the League Cup clash against Liverpool.
No matter how improved our backline is, Arsenal still need a reliable man between the sticks — and Bernd provides exactly that.

The Arsenal new boy will link up with his new teammates for the first time after the international break.
It's probable he will take some time to settle down at the Emirates but we nevertheless expect him to become an important part of the team since day one.
Every Arsenal fan is aware now: no Thomas, no Partey.

Kieran Tierney is currently self-isolating as a Covid-19 safety measure. The Scot is likely to miss the Man City clash and will probably take some time to regain match sharpness.
The Tank is Arsenal's back-up option for KT, and we hope he will not be too disappointed over his failed deadline-day Bundesliga move.
Hopefully, Sead's quality and presence will manifest themselves against the Premier League big boys.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Bukayo Saka

After playing his maiden game for England, Bukayo will undoubtedly be looking forward to making an instant impact at Arsenal.
He has started only 2 Premier League games so far this season.
The Gunners certainly need his flamboyance, intelligence and unpredictability up front, especially when we face top sides such as Man City and Leicester.
