Ahead of their huge North London Derby game against Tottenham. Arsenal face a tough away tie in the Europa League against Vorskla Poltava. 

A win for The Gunners tomorrow night would see them confirmed as group winners. Before a ball has even been kicked there has been a lot of controversy as the game was moved from Poltava to Kiev due to safety concerns following the declaration of martial law in the country.

With their huge match on Sunday coming up, Emery will likely rest most of the first-team and instead use the youth side.

Joe Willock, Eddie Nketiah, Emile Smith-Rowe and Julio Pelguezuelo will all likely be used tomorrow night.

While it does seem wise for Emery to rest the team with such a huge game coming up, using so many young players away from home could be a potential banana skin for the side and could have ramifications on whether Arsenal finish top of the group.

The Breakdown

With such a huge game coming up this weekend, it’s completely logical that Emery should rest the first-team. On paper, Vorskla should prove to be easy opposition and Arsenal should be looking to beat the Ukrainian side handsomely.

However, with Stephan Lichsteiner, Danny Welbeck and Nacho Monreal out, Emery won’t have some key squad players that have played during the Europa League campaign this year.

Eddie Nketiah will likely be used as the starting striker and despite his talent, he still remains incredibly inexperienced in first-team football.

Arsenal are three points ahead of Sporting as it stands but if they slip up tomorrow night, it could open the door for the Portuguese side.
