Jurrien Timber was shifted to right back for this game but he still continued his good start to the campaign.

The Dutchman made one tackle and four clearances throughout his time on the pitch and completed ten defensive actions overall. He also won four ground duels. Despite his side being in ultra defensive mode for the second half, Timber tried getting up the pitch several times and did well to get out of some tricky situations.

Mikel Arteta brought him off in the 89th minute after he had gone down due to injury. Timber certainly put in a good performance against City and looked much better when playing on his natural side. Could this be the end of Ben White's time at right back?
