Eddie Nketiah is expected to feature against Blackpool.
It is just over a year ago that Arsenal sensation Eddie Nketiah enjoyed his breakout moment.
His much anticipated debut saw him come off the bench against Norwich City to score twice and turn a cup tie in Arsenal’s favour for a 2-1 win.
If Nketiah was hoping it would propel him as a regular like Marcus Rashford’s breakthrough at United he was very much wrong.
Former boss Arsene Wenger barely used him afterwards, and signed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Tonight could be the opportunity Nketiah has finally been waiting for.
Arsenal face League One side Blackpool in the Carabao Cup at The Emirates and The Mirror report he is in contention to feature.
The 19-year-old sent a message yesterday evening after training with the first team ahead of the tie, embracing his excitement.
Arsenal fans responded by sending him messages of encouragement and expressing their hopes that he gets a chance to start.
Here is a look at a selection of the replies…
