Rosiak looking to impress again in FA Youth Cup final

One of the key features of Arsenal U18s’ run to the final of the FA Youth Cup has been the performances of Michal Rosiak.

The right-back has been hugely impressive throughout the competition and has scored four goals in five matches.

Arsenal may well need another significant contribution from Rosiak tonight as they take on their West Ham United counterparts in the Youth Cup Final at Emirates Stadium.

A crowd of around 40,000 (including 7,000 West Ham supporters) is expected and it will be an excellent opportunity for these players to showcase their ability on the big stage.

West Ham certainly won’t be pushovers – they won the U18 Premier League south title and possess quality in all areas of the pitch.

However, Jack Wilshere’s side also have plenty of players who are capable of causing problems for opponents, such as Amario Cozier-Duberry, Omari Benjamin, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri.

Left-back Lino Sousa also possesses plenty of experience of U21 football, while if Reuell Walters features then he too could help Arsenal to get over the line.

Arsenal have shown excellent spirit to get to the final and have bounced back from very difficult situations on numerous occasions. Now they are just 90 minutes from glory.
