Mikel Arteta must start Arsenal ace at Newcastle, could take them to Wembley | OneFootball

Arsenal registered a stunning 5-1 win over Manchester City in the Premier League last weekend.

Ethan Nwaneri was one of five different scorers for the Gunners, netting a brilliant curling effort from the edge of the box.

Manager Mikel Arteta must pick the 17-year-old in the starting line-up for the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final at Newcastle United tonight.

Arteta went with Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli on the flanks against the Cityzens.

Trossard did not make a goal contribution, but he still had a superb outing and gave a tough time to Matheus Nunes with his dribbling and quick link-up play.

Martinelli was equally good on the right wing and created the goal for Kai Havertz on the counter-attack. However, Nwaneri should start at St James’ Park.

The Gunners are 2-0 down after the first leg at the Emirates Stadium. They were guilty of missing six clear-cut chances, including one that fell to Martinelli.

Arsenal need to capitalise on their scoring opportunities tonight. With Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus injured, Nwaneri is undoubtedly the best finisher despite his age.

He has scored his immense potential with two sublime goals from the edge of the box. The Gunners need a risk-taker from long-range tonight.
