# Arsenal fans urge Emery to rest key men tonight and play them on Sunday

Arsenal fans are desperate to see the likes of Kieran Tierney, Rob Holding, Lucas Torreira and Hector Bellerin at the weekend, amid fears that they’ll play tonight instead.

Unai Emery is expected to ring the changes as his Gunners side face off against Vitoria in the Europa League.

Following a tweet from popular Arsenal Twitter account [@PatrickTimmons1](https://twitter.com/PatrickTimmons1/status/1187303322711187463?s=20), a host of fans replied in their numbers, expressing their desire to see these players rested and given a chance to shine in the Premier League.

### Read Arsenal verdict

Arsenal are clearly looking to manage the likes of Tierney and Bellerin carefully after long-term injuries, but it appears that supporters are now becoming a little impatient.

They have been teased by their recent inclusions and now they want to see them given a good run in the first-team squad.

It’s a delicate balance that Emery needs to find. Of course, he needs to offer game time his fringe players, but the likes of Holding, Tierney and Bellerin should all be fighting for Premier League game time.

There will come a point where Emery has to take the plunge and risk these young stars in the Premier League – fans will be hoping that is Sunday against Crystal Palace.
