Arsenal kicks off 2025 with an away London derby against Brentford in the 19th round of the Premier League.
With Kai Havertz sidelined due to illness, young winger Ethan Nwaneri earned a place in the starting lineup, making history for Arsenal in the Premier League.
Details. At just 17 years and 286 days old, Nwaneri became the third-youngest player to start for Arsenal in a Premier League match.
The only players younger than him were Cesc Fàbregas (17 years, 103 days) and Theo Walcott (17 years, 212 days).
Recall. Arsenal entered this game sitting third in the Premier League table, just one point behind Nottingham Forest. Liverpool leads the league with a significant points advantage.
