Grant Leadbitter

The Boro skipper has claimed that the squad are more than ready to play Arsenal due to their own Special One, Aitor Karanka.

Leadbitter may not make the headlines like a Bamford or a Kike, but he is vital when it comes to his ability with deadballs.

It could well come down to a set play or a free kick to make the difference in the match and a good delivery helps no end. Leadbitter may even have an eye for goal himself given his record in that department.
