Arsenal left-back Nuno Tavares has dropped a huge line-up hint ahead of Southampton vs Arsenal in the Premier League as Mikel Arteta is set to make big left-back decision ahead of Saturday's clash on the South Coast.
Following the Kieran Tierney injury news, Arsenal have had a mini-crisis in the left-back position that has tainted the Gunners' chances of finishing in the top four. Since the Tierney news came out, Arsenal have lost both resulting games since this blow in dismal fashion against Patrick Vieira's side and Brighton. Granit Xhaka has so far deputised in these two games over someone like Bukayo Saka, who proved his worth in that same position during the Unai Emery reign.
But it seems Arteta is hesitant to move the Three Lions international back to a defensive position with him worried that doing that would reduce his attacking potential. "When I'm convinced that I'm going to do something that's best for the team, then it's going to be judged on whether you win or you don't win. The problem I guarantee was not Granit playing as a full back," Arteta said on the Xhaka switch in his pre-match press conference on Friday.
