"Petr Cech and Aaron played as captains in friendlies, maybe I think of one more player."
Ozil started the game in his favorite No. 10 position in a 4-2-3 -1, Matteo Guendouzi and Mohamed Elneny providing the shield of the midfielder.
Emery has experimented with numerous formations during the pre-season, deploying a comeback of three in a 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid, and is ready to move Ozil out of his favorite position to balance a multitude of offensive options.
