Game being played in Kiev tonight due to martial law being implemented in Ukraine. Emery has rested our big players who will not travel and promoted several academy players to the first team for tonight’s game. Good move. We’ve already qualified, no need to risk players ahead of the NLD and then Utd away 3 days later.
Teams are out. Jenkinson at CB. FC Vorskla: Shust, Perduta, Skliar, Kulach, Sharpar, Chesnakov, Sapai, Kolomoets, Dallku, Artur, Reebok Subs: Tkachenko, Seriichuk, Mysyk, Careca, Chyzhov, Saki, Kane Arsenal: Cech, Lichtsteiner, Jenkinson, Holding, Maitland-Niles, Guendouzi, Ramsey, Elneny, Willock, Smith Rowe, Nketiah Subs: Martinez, Mkhitaryan, Gilmour, Osei-Tutu, Medley, John-Jules, Saka Interestingly enough, Kane is amongst the substitutes for them. I know he has a penchant for claiming other strikers goals... but still. There's a Reebok in there as well.
We've won the group, with a game to spare. Decent result tonight and very impressed with the youngsters. Smith Rowe and Willock in particular were very good. Liked Nketiah's movement and penetration, although his finishing was lacking today. Bodes well for the future though Also we got to rest key players for the NLD on sunday. All round decent evening
