Arsenal fans hope Arteta starts John-Jules against Leeds

Plenty of Arsenal fans are hoping to see Tyreece John-Jules start against Leeds United in the FA Cup on Monday. 

The Gunners host the Whites in the final fixture of the weekend, with both sides set to make numerous changes to their respective league line ups.

If he doesn’t make it, Arteta will be left with a decision to make in attack. 

One possible option would be to give John-Jules a first start.

The 18-year-old has been in fine form for the club’s Under-23 outfit this season, and these fans are hoping to see the exciting youngster against Marcelo Bielsa’s side.

John-Jules looks likely to be the next exciting talent to burst onto the first-team scene over the coming years, so handing him the chance against Leeds could be a shrewd move by Arteta. 

The Spaniard could be keen to rest Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette, and with Eddie Nketiah set for another Championship loan spell, John-Jules could get his chance.
