If you thought flying wing-backs were exclusively the preserve of top-level managers like Antonio Conte and Thomas Tuchel, then think again.
Just a few miles away from Tottenham and Chelsea, another London club are hoping football's most fashionable tactical trend will also deliver them success.
Kenny Jackett's Leyton Orient might not quite have the same glamour but the League Two outfit are slowly building themselves up to a promotion challenge.

Key to their progress this season has been Welsh right-back Tom James, identified by incoming manager Jackett back in the summer as someone with the skill set to excel in the wing-back role.
And the 25-year-old must be doing something right. He as voted PFA Vertu Motors League Two Player of the Month for October following a supporter poll.
Wing-backs aren't generally known for their scoring abilities but James netted in a 3-2 defeat at fellow promotion hopefuls Port Vale and again in a 5-0 thrashing of Hartlepool United during October.
Another goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over Sutton United, which lifted Orient to sixth in the table, made it four goals and four assists for James since his summer move from Hibernian.
'I'm a big fan of it because it gives me a lot of licence to get forward. All the fun is at the top of the pitch,' James tells Sportsmail.
'I've grown up pretty much playing as a right-back who likes to get forward and get involved with the attacking.

'Me playing wing-back gives me a starting position that is 15-20 yards higher and even more chance to get involved with the forwards.
'In the modern game, you have to be flexible and be able to play in different formations and positions.
'You're probably looking at a high percentage of players who have come out of academy football playing in the League now.
'From my experience in the academies, you would play a lot of different formations based on the first team manager's choices.
'I think if you went back 10 years ago, it might have been a massive change to ask a right-back to go and be a right wing-back but now most players in most leagues would be comfortable doing that.'
Arguably the best right wing-back in the country is Reece James and his Orient namesake has been studying how the Chelsea and England star goes about his game with the aid of Jackett and his coaching team.
