Arsenal vs Tottenham: 5 things we’d like to see

4. Ben White Make His First Arsenal Start

Having only been with the team a short while following his £50m arrival from Brighton, it was relatively surprising that Ben White was given a 45 minute run out against Chelsea.

Obviously keeping himself fit throughout his holidays, the addition of not featuring in any of England’s Euro 2020 matches will have helped to keep him fresh.

Moreover, he looked good.

Three goal line clearances in his first half of Arsenal football might be a worrying foreshadowing to the rest of his career but as far as debuts go it was a relatively strong outing for the record signing.

With Gabriel still out it would be a partnership of Pablo Mari and the 23-year-old, which supporters will be hoping will be the duo that kick the season off against Brentford.

Between 45 and 60 minutes for the new boy would be the perfect setup to the coming Friday and seeing the partnership get valuable time together from the off is vital preparation ahead of the campaign. Spending such an amount puts a great deal of expectation on the defender and there is no better way to start proving your value than a solid outing against them.
