ROWE PICK OF KIDS

-

UNAI EMERY has turned to youth for Arsenal’s clash with lower league Blackpool this evening.

Emile Smith Rowe, Joe Willock, Julio Pleguezuel­o and Eddie Nketiah were all chosen by the Gunners boss to take part in first-team training yesterday.

The quartet missed out on Arsenal Under-21s’ Checkatrad­e Trophy tie with Cheltenham last night and could now face the Tangerines. Midfielder Smith Rowe (left) was the breakthrou­gh player for Emery during the club’s pre-season tour – and has managed to make three firstteam appearance­s already this season.

The talented 18-year-old started against Brentford in the last round, and also scored his first senior goal in Arsenal’s 3-0 Europa League victory over Qarabag earlier this month.
