"I believe that there is still a chance that Granit Xhaka will have to play left back. Monreal and Kolasinac have been out for a little over a week and their health, along with the health of Hector Bellerin, has been called into question going into a match where we really need competent fullbacks.

"Granit Xhaka probably won’t be playing left back against Crystal Palace, as he had in his last 100+ minutes on the pitch, but even if he is, he is going to play a big role, but for a different reason.

Pressing with greater intensity, introducing a specialist defensive midfielder and 3 more things Emery has changed so far at Arsenal

Playing out from the back"There were times during Wenger's 22-year tenure in charge where Arsenal were not only the envy of the Premier League, but also the rest of Europe due to their eye-catching style of play."To say that Emery has transformed Arsenal into a better passing unit, therefore, would be unfair and inaccurate, but the Spaniard has certainly placed a greater emphasis on passing out from the back.

Can Granit Xhaka be one of the players to ensure Leicester City victory?
