Arsene Wenger insisted Arsenal have "no weak position" earlier this week - but there are question marks over Mikel Arteta's midfield.
Thomas Partey, Mohamed Elneny and Fabio Vieira have all suffered injuries this season, leaving Arteta short in that department. The Gunners attempted to sign Douglas Luiz from Aston Villa on deadline day, such is their need for midfield reinforcements.
Yet Arteta might already have an answer to the problem in the form of Charlie Patino, an 18-year-old academy graduate just making his way in the game. The England youth international is currently on loan at Blackpool and is starring in the Championship.
