Arsenal fans are reacting to calls for young forward Gabriel Martinelli to start ahead of Alexandre Lacazette against Wolves this weekend.
The young forward netted twice in the 5-5 penalty defeat to Liverpool in midweek, adding to his impressive form in the cup competitions.
After this, some have called for Martinelli to be handed a league start, but not all Arsenal fans are behind the move.

However, it still would be a huge risk to hand him a start so quickly into his Gunners career.
