Lacazette could be employed in a deeper role

Depending on what formation Chelsea plays, it could be the case that Jorginho plays as a deepest of a midfield three. In January, Mesut Ozil not only played as the playmaker but also man marked the Italian.


If Arsenal play a back three as expected, there is no space for a playmaker to do that job, so Alexandre Lacazette may well be asked to come deeper, both to link up play and occupy Jorginho at the same time.
