David Luiz is impressing at Chelsea while Jordan Henderson’s place looks up for grabs and Huddersfield are on the rackBernd Leno was quick to do the decent thing and explain he was clearly not happy to see Petr Cech pull up with a hamstring injury, but at the same time the competitor in him cannot wait to seize his chance. The German keeper signed for Arsenal more than three months ago and has had to be patient to wait for Premier League football. Unai Emery had told Leno his time would come at some stage. “Some weeks ago he said you have to work hard, be calm, because I played for just one professional club in Germany and it is a new country, everything is new for me. Goalkeeper is a special position. You need confidence with the team, with the defence, so it needs time.” Leno is excited at the chance to establish himself. “Now Petr is injured I have the opportunity to play more games and show the coach my quality.” It is not the most stable defence to walk into, although it did not go unnoticed Rob Holding looked secure and had a steadying influence.
