Mikel Arteta should start 25yo in Arsenal's defence vs Real Madrid

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta should continue with Jakub Kiwior in central defence against Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday.
The Poland international has been a fringe player for the Gunners, but he has a huge role to play after Gabriel Magalhaes' season-ending injury.
Kiwior came on early against Fulham on Tuesday and he went on to start against Everton today. He produced a man of the match performance.
The 25-year-old had a passing accuracy of 94 percent with 70 touches. He managed four successful long ball and created one big chance of Leandro Trossard.
Trossard was put through on goal by a brilliant long ball, but the Belgian could not execute a perfect finish. It proved costly in a 1-1 draw.
Kiwior also blocked a Toffees shot in the opening half. It was a commanding display and he should start versus Los Blancos.
Arsenal welcome Real Madrid to the Emirates Stadium for the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday night.
