This should be Arsenal’s first reserve team game this evening as Arsenal take on Vorskla in the first game of the Europa League Group Stages. This will be the first chance that Unai Emery gets to see his reserves playing some competitive football, albeit against a minor European side and hopefully some of them will be trying to impress the boss enough to earn promotion to the starting line-up…
Not everyone agreed with me but I fully expected Emery to change the whole starting XI, especially with the League game against Everton coming up this weekend, so this was the team that I predicted…
Leno
Lichtsteiner – Mavropanos – Holding – Osei-Tutu
Elneny – Torreira – Smith-Rowe
Willock- Nketiah – Welbeck
So now we are just waiting to see which team Emery has decided on, and it should be coming up right now….
Wow! Emery really is taking this seriously!
