Chelsea midfielder Kai Havertz admits he's changed his game this season.
Havertz says the arrival of Romelu Lukaku has forced an adjustment.
He told chelseafc.com: "We have a lot of offensive players and sometimes we also switch the system. Sometimes I play as a number 10, sometimes as a number nine. I like the position I'm playing in this system very much and I'm enjoying it. It's my favourite position, somewhere up front, and it's very nice also to play these positions with these good players here.
"Romelu's now maybe the point every defender is looking to. Sometimes two or three defenders are just on him, so it gives us a lot more space around him. He's now had a few games here, so also it's getting better when you are used to playing with him. Of course, he's a brilliant striker, and I think in the last few matches he showed this very much."
Havertz also stated: "When you are number 10 you can take the ball sometimes a little bit lower and maybe have the ball more often. When you are in the number nine position you have to always keep the line very low with the defending line and also, when you don't touch the ball for five or 10 minutes, this one moment you have to be there and have to score. So of course it's a different situation and you have to adapt to it."
