A MEMORABLE week has gotten even better for Andrew Omobamidele.
Having been handed his full Ireland debut on Tuesday and impressing against Serbia, the 19-year-old will today make his Premier League debut.
The teenager starts ahead of recent signing Ozan Kabak, who spent last season on loan at Liverpool.
Before today, Omobamidele’s only Norwich appearance this season was in the 6-0 EFL Cup win over Bournemouth, though he made nine appearances for the Canaries in the Championship during the last campaign.
Meanwhile, having started three successive games for Ireland, Adam Idah is on the bench for today’s clash away to Arsenal.
It’s been a difficult start for the Premier League’s two bottom sides, with both yet to pick up a single point this season.
Elsewhere, two other Irish centre-backs, Shane Duffy and Ciaran Clark, start for Brighton and Newcastle respectively, while Matt Doherty was an unused sub in Tottenham’s loss to Crystal Palace earlier.
Newcastle look safe now. Hopefully they will already be on holidays when Liverpool go there on May 5th. Either way I’d say Rafa won’t be trying his hardest to stop Liverpool if they are still in with a shout of the title then.
@Flaming Mo: I hope you’re right but Rafa’s as straight as an arrow and I can’t picture him telling a player to go easy can you?….it would be a bit like the time Kenny brought Blackburn Rovers to Anfield looking for a win to secure the premiership, no quarter given that day and none expected by Kenny, you play to win, that day Utd blew it themselves fortunately :)
