Mikel Arteta's Arsenal have been flying so far this season and deservedly sit top of the Premier League following ten wins from 12. The Gunners have had standout performers in each area of the pitch with Gabriel Martinelli, Granit Xhaka and William Saliba all surpassing the expectations placed on them at the beginning of the campaign.
Martinelli and Xhaka have both been heavily among the goals so far this season with the latter being given the role of joining attacks while Saliba has been imperious in the Arsenal backline after returning from a successful loan spell at Marseille where he was crowned Ligue 1 Young Player of the Year.
With much of the focus, and deservedly so, on that trio the limelight has shifted away from two players in particular, who despite playing out of position, have thrived.
