Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has confidence in Pablo Mari ahead of their clash with West Brom.
West Brom will provide a unique challenge to young duo Emile Smith Rowe and Gabriel Martinelli if selected and also to centre-back Mari, who is in line for a third successive start.
He was another to impress in the victory over Chelsea, with Gabriel and David Luiz absent, and Arteta is confident he will cope being up against a Sam Allardyce team.
“Pablo will be fine," the 38-year-old insisted. “Certain games, certain grounds sometimes in the Premier League you have to go through and experience.
“A lot of the time we used to say to new players 'welcome to the Premier League when it gets to winter time and it is freezing, the pitch is not great and it is windy'.
“You start to deal with long balls, aerial duels, physical teams, but in this league you need to get through them."
