2. Ben White

Similar to Rice, Ben White seems like a guaranteed 7/10 every game. Against Everton, he was particularly useful going forward.

Saka’s gravity invariably attracts two players into his vicinity, so when White goes forward to overlap, he can often find himself in dangerous positions. That was the case against Everton and White put in some neat crosses.

Defensively, he was as good as ever. A centre-back playing at right back, he was dominant aerially and showcased his defensive instincts.

A particular highlight was when he misplaced a pass and immediately won the ball back, thanks to powerful running ahead of his opponent. It’s a trait that Gabriel Martinelli also shares, the uncanny ability to immediately make up for mistakes.

Arsenal fans should be very reassured with Benny Blanco in the squad.
