Xhaka injury possibility, Tierney returns, Zinchenko undroppable: Arsenal's left back situation

Arsenal's excellent beginning to the season continued over the weekend courtesy of an enthralling 4-2 victory over Leicester. New signing Gabriel Jesus introduced himself to the Emirates Stadium in style with a man of the match display including two goals as well as the assists for Granit Xhaka and Gabriel Martinelli 's strikes.

Further back the pitch though, Jesus' fellow former Manchester City Oleksandr Zinchenko also drew praise for his performance in the left back position. The Ukrainian has started every one of his games for Arsenal in that position since his arrival from Pep Guardiola 's side last month and has quickly established himself as a favourite among the Gunners fanbase.

However, with Kieran Tierney approaching full fitness, Mikel Arteta is now left with a very tricky decision as to who he starts at left back for Arsenal. Here football.london 's Gunners writers run the rule over what they would do.
