Overview

• Eberechi Eze has been used mainly on the left wing since his £67.5m move from Crystal Palace.
• He has one assist in three appearances for Arsenal, having been instructed to stay wide in Bilbao before being substituted shortly before Gabriel Martinelli scored.
• Pundits Peter Crouch, Martin Keown and Leon Osman advocate a central role for Eze, with warnings that a touchline role could suppress his goals and assists.
• The Daily Mail, cited by other outlets, reports Mikel Arteta still sees Eze as a No 10 and could start him there against Manchester City if Ødegaard does not make it.
• Eze’s track record in the role includes scoring as a No 10 against Manchester City in the FA Cup final for Crystal Palace.
