Young Gunners present and correct

ARSENAL BOSS Arsene Wenger is preparing for success for years to come thanks to the young talent ready to roll off the Highbury production line.

Wenger may have lost experienced campaigners in Martin Keown, Ray Parlour and Sylvain Wiltord during the summer - but they were not missed as Arsenal began the defence of their Premiership title with a crushing 4-1 defeat of Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday.

Sol Campbell and captain Patrick Vieira were also missing through injury, yet such is the confidence Wenger has in his emerging stars he handed a league debut to 17-year-old Cesc Fabregas.
