Austrian international Kevin lined up alongside fellow central defenders Toby Alderweireld and Cameron Carter-Vickers during Sunday’s 2-0 win over Aston Villa in the FA Cup, with the trio flanked on the right and left by Kieran Trippier and Ben Davies.
It’s a formation that we’ve seen in a number of recent matches in the Premier League with the likes of Jan Vertonghen, Eric Dier, Kyle Walker and Danny Rose all playing their roles to fine effect.
Following Toby’s substitution with 20 minutes to go against Villa, we seamlessly reverted to a back four scenario and Kevin believes the players’ ability to cope with either formation is serving us well.
