BEN SMITH (8): A former Arsenal trainee who arrived at the club via Yeovil and Southend, 24-year-old Smith is a player of whom big things are expected this season. Badly missed during the first three months of last season when he was absent after dislocating his shoulder during a pre-season fixture at Bromsgrove, Ben quickly established himself in the starting lineup and has the talent to score goals and be a major influence in midfield.
