Arsenal Pre-Season Lineup Predictions for Real Betis Friendly

For their upcoming pre-season match against Real Betis in Dublin, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta might adjust his lineup with two key changes. After a commanding 4-1 victory over Girona, where fresh faces like Piero Hincapie, Viktor Gyokeres, and Kai Havertz gained valuable minutes, the coach seems ready to rotate players cautiously.

Gyokeres, who featured less than 33 minutes, may sit this game out, making way for Gabriel Jesus to return upfront. The Brazilian forward capped off the scoring versus Girona, following goals from Max Dowman and Christos Tzolis, both expected to start again on the wings. Meanwhile, Reiss Nelson's future at the club looks uncertain as he is anticipated to be sold.

Myles Lewis-Skelly is attracting interest from Manchester United, which surprises some fans, but he remains a firm choice in midfield due to absences of Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi, and Mikel Merio. The midfield trio is likely to include Havertz and Ethan Nwaneri alongside Lewis-Skelly.

In defense, Hincapie will probably keep his spot, while Gabriel Magalhaes might be rested to avoid any risks early on. Ben White, recovering from a knee injury and having played 61 minutes against Girona, could be substituted out as a precaution. This would provide an opportunity for Marli Ellis Salmon to show his potential, with Cristhian Mosquera shifting to right-back.
