Mikel Arteta has revealed why he has replaced Ben White with Takehiro Tomiyasu at right-back as Arsenal gear up to face Manchester City. The England international has been central to the Gunners' success this season despite operating in a foreign position.
White, who is a centre-half by trade, has flourished on the right hand side for the north Londoners, facilitating the excellent form of Bukayo Saka ahead of him. He's featured 21 times for Arsenal in the Premier League this season while keeping nine clean sheets.
With a game in hand, the Gunners head into the clash three points clear of Pep Guardiola's side. And, in what could be a title-defining fixture, Arteta has opted for Tomiyasu instead of White.
