Arsenal have started the season very well, winning their first two Premier League games of the season. However, Gunners fans must remember that Arsenal are still in the Europa League and so they must not get carried away.
Something that Unai Emery should consider though is that the Europa League, as well as the Carabao Cup, can be a good chance to give academy players a chance in the first team. Players such as Reiss Nelson and Joe Willock got their chance in the Europa League and are now doing really well, having both started the first two games of the Premier League this season.
Here are five players that can be given a chance in the first team this season in competitions such as the Europa League and Carabao Cup.
Trending
Tyreece John-Jules
Tyreece John-Jules is an 18-year-old who recently signed a new long-term deal with Arsenal after an impressive pre-season with the first team.
He is yet to make his debut for Arsenal but did score for Arsenal in March when arsenal played a friendly in Dubai. It would make sense for John-Jules to be given a chance in both the Europa League and Carabao Cup early on this season and a bit more experience for him could, in the future, help add to the squad depth needed by Arsenal.
#4 Miguel Azeez
Miguel Azeez may only be 16 but he has already attracted a fair bit of media attention since signing as a scholar for Arsenal. So far this season the England youth international has played for both the under 18s and under 23s and it looks like he is set to play most of his games this season for the under 23s.
He does, in fact, turn 17 in September and so who knows he may, in fact, play a few games in the Europa League. When Bukayo Saka made his debut for Arsenal aged only 17 in the Europa League.
#3 Folarin Balogun
The recently turned 18-year-old was extremely impressive across the academy sides last season scoring 28 goals and assisting five times. This has continued into this season with Balogun scoring three goals and getting one assist in his first two under-23 games of this season.
With Eddie Nketiah out on loan at Leeds United, one could see Balogun get a chance in the Europa League and the Carabao Cup.
#2 Robbie Burton
Robbie Burton impressed for Arsenal in the pre-season tour making a handful of solid appearances for the first team. This has led many to believe that Unai Emery will give him a chance in the first Europa League game of the season on the 19th September.
Many also believe that if he is given a chance this season in both the Europa League and Carabao Cup it won't be long until he makes his debut for Wales.
#1 Bukayo Saka
Bukayo Saka made his debut for Arsenal aged only 17 during last season in the Europa League and then even went on to make his Premier League debut as well. In total, he ended up making four appearances for the first team last season.
So yes you could argue he is already part of the first team but Saka be given a chance to play on regular occasions for Arsenal in the Europa League, Carabao Cup, and also FA Cup.
