Arsenal have a golden opportunity to blood Ethan Nwaneri in a Premier League match, with the Gunners dominating Southampton at the Emirates thus far and likely to secure all three points, despite not finding a breakthrough as of yet.
The home side have penned Southampton in for large periods, and limited the Saints to just two shots in the entire 45 minutes, but have failed to convert this pressure into several clear-cut opportunities.
Teenager Nwaneri could provide some additional final third ingenuity, with the starlet impressing off the bench last weekend at home to Leicester City. The Hale End academy graduate made an impression in his short cameo against the Foxes, as well as scoring a brace against Bolton in the EFL Cup the weekend before, and Arteta ought to grant the youngster some meaningful minutes from the start of the second period.
