Former Gunners defender Martin Keon believes Joe Willow will face Arsenal’s starting XI.
The 21-year-old played his sixth game of the season in Thursday night’s clash with Arsenal’s Europa League FC Mold.
Willock scored in the second consecutive European shootout, scoring Arsenal’s third goal 4-1 against the Norwegian champions.
Aside from his goal-scoring contribution, the midfielder, who has yet to play in the league this season, has had a remarkable performance against the team of Erlingmo.

“You come through the system and you want to be an Arsenal player.

“I think he can do better. I’m not kidding because he has the ability to stand on a high level.
“He has to understand that every day. For me, playing with children is a lot of fun, especially because he’s humble.
“When you are humble you can learn, be better and improve. If you are not humble you will never understand.
“He is humble, has a great present and a great future.”
