Former England international stars Michael Owen and Martin Keown have suggested that Mikel Arteta should deploy Christos Tzolis' replacement, Eberechi Eze, ahead of Arsenal's upcoming match against Chelsea. Owen and Keown believe that Eze showed better performance during Arsenal's 1-0 win over Aston Villa compared to Tzolis, the £34 million summer signing from Club Brugge.
Tzolis struggled to make an impact against Matty Cash in the first half of the match, while Eze made an immediate impact by providing a precise pass to Bukayo Saka, which led to the winning goal in the second half. Arteta made the substitution in the second half of the match to provide Eze with an opportunity to start against Chelsea.
Owen and Keown expressed confidence that Eze's performance would justify his starting role in the crucial Sunday game against their fierce rivals at the Emirates.
