One of such adjustments was the return of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who had been out for two months.

The defender was returned to duty.

came into the team and was unexpectedly chosen to play left-back, with versatile player Diogo Dalot starting at right-back.

According to The Daily Mail, Wan-Bissaka’s inclusion was decided upon at the last minute, and Victor Lindelof was supposed to start.

But once Jonny Evans was injured, the Swede had to switch to center back, freeing up a space at left back.

Although Ten Hag believed Dalot should have played up against Luis Diaz, Dalot had spent the week getting ready to face the opponent.

The strategy was successful, as Wan-Bissaka gave great performance before substituting after 70 minutes. Dalot managed to survive the 120 minutes, finishing as a four-man defense with Harry Maguire, Bruno Fernandes, and Antony.
