Mikel Arteta put his Arsenal players through their paces at London Colney on Saturday, ahead of this evening’s clash with Liverpool.
The in-form Gunners welcome Liverpool to the Emirates Stadium and Arteta’s side might be narrow favourites to win the game.
That’s because Arsenal have won nine of their 10 games in all competitions this season, losing only to Manchester United.
Victory today will see the North Londoners move back to the summit of the Premier League.
Ethan Nwaneri became the competition’s youngest-ever player in September by coming on in a victory away to Brentford.
And another teenage Arsenal player was spotted in the Spanish manager’s senior training session yesterday.
Seventeen-year-old Bradley Ibrahim was among those included in Arteta’s latest session, evident by the photographs from Colney on Saturday.
Ibrahim signed his first professional contract earlier this year [official website] and has broken into the Gunners’ Under-21 squad.
That being said, it seems very unlikely that Arsenal supporters will see him today, even as part of the matchday squad.
It’s entirely possible that Arteta only included him in the session to give him a bit of experience, a taste of things to come for him hopefully.
