Arsenal

Brentford

<p>Lewis-Skelly has broken into Arsenal's first team this season, and his displays at left back have earned him a berth in Thomas Tuchel's first squad as England boss.

If you have those three ingredients and you have a personality that can go through blips — it can happen — that is Myles. That is what he has done.</p><p>"He can do as a 6 and an an 8. It will depend a lot on the relationships and the chemistry with other players, how this evolves within the team.</p><p>"And football, which direction it goes , what demands of certain positions as well. He is certainly a player that can play a in lots of positions."</p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p>

WHAT MIKEL ARTETA SAID

<p>Before joining up with England teammates at St. George's Park, Myles-Skelly will likely feature in Arsenal's London derby versus Chelsea on Sunday.
