Not many might know who Dinos Mavropanos is. Well, he is a Greek player who plays as a centre-back for Arsenal. He is 21 years old and was one of Arsene's reliable signings last season.

Mavropanos made his senior team debut last season under Arsene Wenger against Manchester United at Old Trafford. Surprisingly, he was one of Arsenal's best players in that particular game and since then, he has been a fan-favourite.

However, he was ruled out due to a groin injury by the end of last season and he made his first Premier League appearance this season against Manchester City yesterday. He wasn't on the pitch for much time, but Raheem Sterling had a tough time going past him in the ending minutes of the game.

Laurent Koscielny, on the other hand, has taken up the role of a leader and displayed an impactful performance yesterday against the Citizens. He was Arsenal's only goalscorer and played a key part in keeping Bernado Silva at bay on the right flank.

It is time for Unai to play a 4-man defence with Dinos and Koscielny at the back until Sokratis returns, as both Mustafi and Lichtsteiner have been below average for Arsenal. The Spaniard might have to take some risky decisions but that is the only way he can progress.
