# Arsenal fans want Chambers to come in for Maitland-Niles against United – why Emery needs to listen

Ainsley Maitland-Niles will be available to Unai Emery tonight against Manchester United, however, multiple Arsenal fans want the 22-year-old to be replaced by Callum Chambers.

After serving his one-match suspension for the red card he received against Aston Villa last week and making a return to full training after a knock, the utility man is eligible to feature at Old Trafford.

This point was shared by Arsenal fan page [@CannonInsider](https://twitter.com/CannonInsider/status/1178365940150525954), which led to these Gunners supporters stating their opinions on who should start at right-back.

> Twitter: @CannonInsider I’d still play Chambers ahead of him ![?](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/svg/1f44d.svg) (@Dmarsh003)

> Twitter: @CannonInsider Please Chambers oo (@1\_osmosis)

> Twitter: @CannonInsider Hopefully emery does not select him Chambers should start in his place. (@i\_shaikh82)

But should Emery listen to these Arsenal fans and select Chambers over Maitland-Niles?

### Read Arsenal verdict

Chambers has excelled in his four appearances this season, and the Gunners have conceded just once in the 215 minutes of action when the 24-year-old has been present, so on that stat alone, a case can be made for Chambers needing to start.

His versatility means he’d have no trouble filling in at right-back, and with Hector Bellerin not yet fully fit and Maitland-Niles struggling in recent weeks, we agree with the Arsenal fans who have urged Emery to start Chambers on the right-hand side.

Chambers boasts more defensive experience over Maitland-Niles, and if he is given the nod at Old Trafford and replicates his form from previous outings, it would certainly be the right call by Emery.
