Will Bukayo Saka get a chance in the cup?
Bukayo Saka will make it three competitions in a shade more than five weeks if he gets another first-team chance on Saturday.
The 17-year-old made his senior debut against Vorskla Poltava in Kiev in November and got a second Europa League game under his belt against Qarabag last month.
Saka kicked off 2019 with a Premier League debut against Fulham - becoming the first player born in 2001 to feature in the competition - and he now looks likely to be involved in the third round of the Emirates FA Cup at Blackpool.
Unai Emery’s resources have been stretched over a punishing festive period, but the flipside of an injury list is the opportunity it presents to the likes of Saka.
