Arsenal go into an FA Cup clash with Wigan Athletic this weekend knowing they should be able to make wholesale changes and still come out on top.
The Gunners will be looking to use their squad depth to see their way past the Latics and Mikel Arteta could well opt for some young blood as well.
Of course, Arsenal will want to ensure enough experience is out there to navigate safely through.
Answer honestly, are you worried about Arsenal’s mentality in the title race?
Is it a Mikel Arteta problem?
But ahead of facing the former Premier League side, Arteta also has a number of younger options to look at, including new signing, Evan Moody.
Arsenal call up Evan Moody to first-team training
Arsenal only landed teenager Evan Moody in the January transfer window but it appears he’s already made an impression on Mikel Arteta.
According to The Sun, Arteta has already handed Moody a call to the Arsenal first-team and he has been training with the full squad.
This begs the question of whether or not we could see Moody included in the game with Wigan, given there is a chance for youth to be involved.
Moody was a £400,000 signing for the Gunners and was predominantly signed to feature in the under-21s.
However, having already played more than 20 games at senior level in Scotland, Arteta may adjudge Moody to be ready to feature already.
Why including Evan Moody is a smart move by Arsenal
While we aren’t suggesting that Arsenal throw Moody into the starting XI or even for that matter give him minutes off the bench, it would do no harm to include him in the squad.
For Moody, coming down from a smaller club in Scotland like St Mirren to a giant like Arsenal is a complete culture shift.
True or false: There’s no position Arsenal need to target more than a world-class winger this summer
But, having the chance to be part of a strong squad and be involved against a well put together lower division side could be the perfect welcome for him.
Clearly, Arsenal already like the look of Moody and if there’s a chance to further his development this weekend, then it’s one the club needs to take.
