      THE BIGGER PICTURE

      The England international will have his mind set on breaking into Mikel Arteta’s starting XI, but ex-Liverpool and Ireland defender Mark Lawrenson says he will likely have to settle for making an impact off the bench.

        “At Arsenal, I think Raheem Sterling will solely be used for squad depth, I donā€™t see him breaking into the starting team,” he toldĀ Paddy Power. “Iā€™d imagine that the manager will have already told him that heā€™ll be a 25-minute man each week and that will be it, unless he does well when he gets a chance.”
