Arsenal are back in action this evening, as they host Dundalk in their second Europa League group stage game.
The Gunners squeezed past Rapid Vienna with a 2-1 win last week, but need to hit back having lost 1-0 at home to Leicester City on Sunday.
Mikel Arteta may make a number of changes for tonight’s game in order to freshen up his side, with young players no doubt hoping for playing time.
One of those may well be Emile Smith Rowe, who has yet to play first-team football under Arteta this season despite a strong loan spell at Huddersfield Town.
The 20-year-old has made seven Europa League appearances in the past, so seeing him in action tonight isn’t such a ridiculous suggestion.
Arsenal posted a shot of the playmaker in training on Wednesday, and Gunners fans flocked to reply to the photo.
Fans begged Arteta to start Smith Rowe against Dundalk, believing that it’s time to see what he can offer in the first team.
Some think that he can start to make a real impact, but it needs to start with an appearance tonight – and it’s now up to Arteta.
