Some Arsenal fans think Joe Willock is destined to start against Southampton this weekend.
The teenage midfielder has made 15 appearances for the Gunners this season and has scored four times.
Despite regularly featuring in the matchday squad, he’s struggled to nail down a spot in Unai Emery’s first-choice XI.
Willock has started just once in the club’s last nine league fixtures, but with Granit Xhaka a doubt and Dani Ceballos out injured, some fans think the Englishman could be restored to the starting line-up.
@PatrickTimmons1 shared his preferred midfield three in Lucas Torreira, Matteo Guendouzi and Mesut Ozil, however, these supporters were quick to share their opinions on what Emery will go for.

Read Arsenal verdict
Willock recently turned out for England’s Under-21 side during the international break, and if he can regain his early-season form, his inclusion against the Saints would prove to be a shrewd one.
Emery is obviously a big fan of the youngster, so he could well place his trust in him on Saturday, however, it appears that if he does, it wouldn’t go down too well with some supporters.
