The Gunners are enjoying a 10-game winning streak in all competitions and Emery will resist making too many changes to his team’s winning formula.
Arsenal have previously opted for three central defenders in certain games, but Emery confirmed he won’t be shuffling his pack against Sporting.

Emery is still expected to make several changes to his starting XI to make the most of his blossoming squad.

Ideally Bellerin would be given the night off, but he may be forced to
Sokratis Papastathopoulos has recovered in time for the trip and could feature alongside Rob Holding, with Danny Welbeck, Aaron Ramsey and Matteo Guendouzi all likely to feature.
Predicted Arsenal team vs Sporting CP
(4-2-3-1) Leno; Bellerin, Sokratis, Holding, Lichtsteiner; Guendouzi, Elneny; Mkhitaryan, Ramsey, Welbeck; Aubameyang.
