Ben White in Line for Consecutive Arsenal Starts After Man-of-the-Match Return

Overview

• White earned Man of the Match and recorded an assist in Arsenal’s win at Brentford.
• Mikel Arteta described Cristhian Mosquera’s ankle issue as “complicated,” with William Saliba’s availability uncertain and Declan Rice nursing a calf problem, increasing the likelihood White starts again.
• If selected against Aston Villa, White would make back-to-back Premier League starts for the first time in 210 days.
• His Brentford performance included 6+ tackles and 6+ clearances, a first for an Arsenal player in the last 10 league seasons, according to Squawka.
• Coverage suggests his form could revive England prospects, noting he has not featured since leaving the 2022 World Cup squad and that the new manager said in May he had spoken to him.
