Arsenal star Ben White has issued a warning to Chelsea duo Mykhailo Mudryk and Raheem Sterling ahead of Saturday's showdown at Stamford Bridge. The Gunners have been undefeated in the Premier League this season and White, who hasn't missed a minute of top-flight action, will be tasked with keeping the two players quiet.
When asked if he is 'prepared' to face both Mudryk and Sterling, White told Sky Sports with a grin: “You can pick any of them.” He went on to explain that against these top teams, you have to be prepared for substitutes coming on who are just as good.
White also joked that he is doing “all of Bukayo Saka’s running” this season when it comes to their partnership down the right flank. He explains that he is there to help Saka get into positions where he is most dangerous and if that means he has to do more running then that is what he will do.
More generally speaking, White believes that the right-back position is unique at Arsenal because of Mikel Arteta’s tactical demands. He has had to develop his game to be a centre mid, centre-back, winger, and a No 10 all at the same time. He will have to put these skills to the test this Saturday against Chelsea.
