READ ARSENAL VERDICT
If Saka is indeed playing at wing-back it will be intriguing to see how he gets on in that position. His attacking ability is evident, given his performances on the left wing for Arsenal this season, but there are still huge questions over the defensive side of his game.
He will need to prove, tonight, that he has what it takes to perform in the first-team as a wing-back, as it would further his case for more starts in the Premier League. With Kieran Tierney out injured, this could be the perfect opportunity for him to shine.
