Paul Merson has backed Nicolas Pepe to start for Arsenal and "get the job done" against Brentford on Saturday afternoon.
The 26-year-old winger has not started for the Gunners since their 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium in mid-October and was linked with a move away from the club over the January transfer window.
football.london reported at the time that Pepe was frustrated with his current situation at Arsenal and that he would assess his options at the club.
