He wasn't even playing against Everton - but Calum Chambers still found himself on the teamsheet against Everton at the Emirates

Sky Sports had a "Chamberlain" lining up at left back - despite the fact that Kieran Gibbs is playing in that position for Arsenal today.

Perhaps someone at the media organisation shares Andre Marriner's confusion - it was Marriner who sent off Gibbs a year ago against Chelsea when Oxlade-Chamberlain should have been dismissed for handball.

To add to the Shakespearean farce, Chambers and Oxlade-Chamberlain are former Southampton teammates, as well as sharing similar names.

Regardless, when play began, neither of those two were lining up at left back - it was, as expected, Gibbs playing at full back for Arsene Wenger's side.
