Plenty of Arsenal fans are hoping to see Callum Chambers partner Rob Holding at the back against Brighton this evening.
The 24-year-old has been a regular this season, mainly plying his trade at right-back due to Hector Bellerin’s absence.
He’s impressed for large parts and was named in Freddie Ljungberg’s first side as interim boss against Norwich.
However, with Bellerin back in full training, he may have to force his way into Ljungberg’s central defensive plans if he is to continue his run in the team.
@ltarsenal shared a possible line up for the clash against Graham Potter’s resilient side, with Holding and David Luiz named as the two central defenders in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Their post received plenty of interaction from supporters, with many calling for Chambers to replace Luiz.

Twitter: @ltarsenal Perfect team selection. Maybe Chambers in for Luiz but other than that it’s solid

Twitter: @ltarsenal Looks good except I’d put Chambers in for Luiz. Chambers is a CB and he’s playing very well! (@Brian93Smyth)

The 32-year-old has been an ever-present figure at the back all season, however, he’s struggled to string together a series of consistent displays.
Bringing in Chambers could be a shrewd move by Ljungberg and it could be the start of a solid partnership alongside Holding.
Shkodran Mustafi is also another option, with the German earning a first Premier League start of the season against the Canaries on Sunday.
