Arteta was showing the box midfield to the arsenal side in All or nothing Arsenal episode 2 and Saka mentioned how they trained it every day... would be interesting if its been a long time in the works at city from when arteta was there

[@J_P1195]

The transfers of Ake Akanji and letting the conventional full backs depart over the last 2/3 years suggests so
