#5 Arsenal
The Gunners would also find their best form in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Bernd Leno who saved their embarrassing defence on numerous occasions last season will be the number 1 without a doubt. Sokratis is their best centre-back and with Holding's eventual return, they should reignite what was looking like a very strong centre-half pair at the beginning of last season before the latter was ruled out with a torn achilles. For now, Monreal will probably be the Greek's partner in defence ahead of the error-prone Shkodran Mustafi.
Hector Bellerin will eventually be the first-choice right back once again but until he returns, Ainsley Maitland-Niles should continue to start. However, he must increase his focus and effort because his talent is unquestionable. First choice for left back will most likely be Bosnian Sead Kolasinac .
In central midfield, Arsenal have more options now with the signing of Dani Ceballos. Torreira is the club's best defensive midfielder so he will definitely be Unai Emery's first choice as their weak defence needs support and that is what the Uruguayan provides. Granit Xhaka is the player who controls the possession for Arsenal and is always amongst the league leaders in passes completed; he's also virtually the captain of the club since Laurent Koscielny is on the verge of leaving. Hence, the Swiss should be in the starting lineup. Having Ceballos and Guendouzi to back up Xhaka and Torreira gives the midfield much-needed depth.
The attacking 4 is the easiest bit as Arsenal can compete with any side in the world in terms of the potential goals and assists. With Aubameyang on the left, club record signing Pépé on the right, Özil in the middle and Lacazette up front, the Gunners will never struggle for chances being created and goals being scored. There have been reports that Ozil may be moving to DC United in the MLS, but the Gunners would have Ceballos fill that spot if need be.
