Toby Alderweireld spoke of his “trust” in Ben Davies after another excellent performance from the Welsh international at centre-half on Wednesday night.

Moving in-field from left-back to deputise alongside Toby in last weekend’s 1-0 win over Burnley, Ben enjoyed another solid shift manning the barricades in the heart of our defensive unit as we beat Arsenal on their own patch to progress to the last four of the Carabao Cup, the 2-0 triumph representing a second clean sheet of the week and our first ever at the Emirates Stadium.

On the end of virtually every ball that came into the box, Davies won plaudits from many onlookers – and his centre-back partner.

“You always know he can play there and I think he’s been performing very well in the last two games,” said the Belgian international. “For Wales, he plays in a three-man central defence on the left. He’s a very smart player and he knows what to do.
