Player to watch – Jakub Kiwior
The hamstring injury picked up by key defender Gabriel Magalhaes triggered panic among Arsenal supporters, however, Jakub Kiwior has stepped up brilliantly to fill the void and the Polish centre-back should start again on Sunday.
Kiwior is more than a bandaid
Kiwior, who has started only four Premier League matches, has had to be patient this season, though the 25-year-old should be a first-team staple between now and the end of the campaign and the reliable performer should go from strength-to-strength with more regular game time.
