Emile Smith Rowe told what he needs to do to rediscover place in Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side

Mikel Arteta seems to have settled upon a winning formula at Arsenal. So far this season, Arteta's team selections have been pretty consistent, and it's paying dividends, with the Gunners top of the table after six matches.

Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard have sparkled in attacking roles, forming a dangerous offensive unit, with Arsenal scoring 14 goals in their opening half a dozen games. Everything has been clicking for Arsenal in forward areas, but Emile Smith Rowe has not been part of the equation.

The 22-year-old is yet to start a game this season, despite scoring ten goals in 33 Premier League appearances last term. Smith Rowe has been limited to substitute appearances so far this campaign, racking up just 47 minutes of action in total. All of his appearances from the bench have been under 20 minutes, meaning he has had very little time to influence games positively.
