Mikel Arteta has confirmed Ben White could be deployed as a makeshift midfielder in Arsenal's clash with Liverpool on Thursday night.
The Gunners are heading into the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final with only one central midfielder available in Albert Sambi Lokonga.
Granit Xhaka will not be involved at Anfield after testing positive for Covid-19, while Mohamed Elneny and Thomas Partey are currently away at the Africa Cup of Nations.
As a result, Arteta may be forced to move White from his typical centre-back slot to the middle of the park, a position he is somewhat familiar with after operating there for previous club Brighton on occasion.
