Former Arsenal captain Tony Adams has urged Mikel Arteta to switch to a back four after the Gunners lost 1-0 to Manchester City on Saturday.
Arteta opted to start with his familiar three at the back with two wing backs, however the formation left his side lacking creativity in attacking areas.
After a second defeat of the league season, Adams believes now is the time to change the formation.

Adams was part of Arsenal's legendary back four which included Lee Dixon, Steve Bould and Nigel Winterburn, that defence was a cornerstone of the north London club's success in the late eighties up until the mid nineties.
