However, it remains to be seen if his display against the Hornets is good enough to win him another starting berth when the Gunners play host to Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Many Gunners faithfuls believe the 22-year-old winger was included in Emery's lineup due to the second leg of the Europa League clash against Napoli at the San Paolo Stadium.

He hasn't been a regular starter in recent games, hence, his place in the starting lineup isn't guaranteed. Iwobi has started 19  Premier League matches and has came off the bench on 11 occasions.

Meanwhile, the race for a top-four finish is getting more intensified as the end of season draws closer and the Gunners can't afford to loose their guard.

Manchester United and Tottenham both won their Premier League fixtures last weekend which means Emery's men must avoid dropping any point before the end of the season.
