'Shame' - Arsenal fans disappointed not to see Emile Smith Rowe & Folarin Balogun start vs Molde

Arsenal fans have been reacting to Mikel Arteta's latest team selection for their trip to Molde in the Europa League this evening.

The Gunners will play their fourth match of the European campaign tonight, as they face the Norwegian side - who they beat 4-1 earlier this month.

Fresh off the back of a goalless draw with Leeds United at the weekend, Arteta will be aware he needs to get his team scoring again and the trip to Norway could be the perfect opportunity.

The Arsenal boss has opted with a pretty attacking line-up for the game, with the full team listed below.

Arsenal: Runar Alex Runarsson, Cedric Soares, Shkodran Mustafi, David Luiz, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Granit Xhaka, Joe Willock, Nicolas Pepe, Alexandre Lacazette, Reiss Nelson, Eddie Nketiah.

Arteta has made nine changes from the side that failed to score at Elland Road, with that team showing a lack of quality in the final third.

Pepe starts despite his red card in Yorkshire - with the Ivory Coast international suspended for the next three matches in the Premier League.

There was no place in the starting line-up for youngsters Emile Smith Rowe or Folarin Balogun - who start on the bench - something Arsenal supporters seemed pretty disappointed about when finding out the team news.

If Arsenal manage to pick up the three points in Norway, then they will be virtually through - and that could be confirmed if Rapid Vienna fail to beat Dundalk in Group B's other game this evening.

Then for the Gunners, it's a home match against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday evening, as they look to return to winning ways in the Premier League following back-to-back games without a victory.
