Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has handed Petr Cech his Gunners debut by selecting the Chelsea legend in his starting XI to face Everton in the final of the Premier League Asia Trophy.
Summer signing Cech was not used in Wednesday’s 4-0 semi-final win over a Singapore Select XI, as he was being saved for the big occasion.
Wenger has named an extremely strong team to face the Toffees, with Aaron Ramsey, Santi Cazorla, Jack Wilshere, Mesut Oil, Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud also starting.
