Could Wilshere finally make his first Premier League start of the season?

Jack Wilshere could finally make his first Premier League start against Huddersfield on Wednesday night.

Jack is yet to make a single start in the Premier League this season and has only featured for a combined 48 minutes over three appearances in the competition so far. However, the 25-year-old could be in line to finally get the nod against Huddersfield Town mid-week.

Mesut Ozil missed the Burnley clash on Sunday through illness and while Arsene Wenger claims he’ll face a late assessment, the chances are the boss could save him for the weekend clash against Manchester United instead.

Alex Iwobi is also sidelined with a dead leg and Danny Welbeck tends to struggle creating chances. The striker is also only just returning from two groin injuries in a row.

Wenger recently claimed that one of the reasons Jack isn’t playing in the Premier League much is because Ozil is ahead of him. The Frenchman sees the midfielder playing in a more advanced role, which is currently occupied by the German. Therefore, without Ozil in the picture, presumably the boss will take a chance on Jack.

Jack has just over six months left on his current Arsenal deal and he needs to prove why the club should offer him a new one. This could be his chance.
