Jurrien Timber is playing at left back today, as he did in midweek against Chelsea, in place of Riccardo Calafiori and Myles Lewis-Skelly is on the bench.

Timber is one of the most versatile players in the Arsenal squad and he is aggressively inverting into midfield.

As soon as Arsenal have possession he goes into midfield as an extra player and Arsenal build up with a back three.

Timber and Ben White, the Arsenal right back, end up as some of the furthest forward players when Mikel Arteta’s side get forward.
