Despite making ten changes from the team that lost 3-0 to Manchester City, Iwobi remained in the starting lineup as the only player retained.
Silva cited a lack of alternative options in the squad as the reason for Iwobi’s consistent starts.
Since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations, Iwobi has featured in 448 of 450 possible minutes across all competitions this season.
