Supporters are furious with Arsene Wenger’s team selection for Europa League

Arsene Wenger is taking no chances.
Despite being 3-0 up on aggregate thanks to the three away goals scored against Swedish side Ostersund last Thursday, Wenger has named a surprisingly strong starting XI for the return leg at the Emirates. With kick-off scheduled for 8.05pm, a couple of regular first team players have been named to see out the tie. https://twitter.com/arsenal/status/966747157834469376 Arsenal will have the opportunity to claim the first silverware of the season when they meet Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final this Sunday and with that game just three days away, supporters expected Wenger to rest his most important players. The sight of Hector Bellerin, in particular, on the right side of a Gunners back four didn't sit well with fans who saw no point in taking a risk with one of the squad's key players. We can only imagine the earful Mr Wenger will get if the Spaniard picks up a knock that rules him out of this weekend's final.Why hasn’t Bellerin been rested for Sunday ffs
