Arguably too soon for this, but we can at least start to consolidate our thoughts ahead of this. I'm particularly excited as I'm going to this one, and Arsenal is the team that I probably have the most mates who support so I'm especially keen for a drubbing.
Watching Arsenal this season they have followed a number of key traits:
Torreira in DM looks useful to break up play but generally they aren't offering huge amounts from the middle other than improving on being a complete walkover last season.
I'm torn on the team I want to see, I think we will dominate this game in the middle and our attacking press will catch them out on multiple occasions. I would love to see us go for the juggular from the start which would be Shaq starting in the CM 3, and if we need to tighten in the second half we can bring Millie in to that middle.
--------------Alisson-----------
TAA---Gomez--VVD---Robbo
-----------Gini----Fabs-----------
--------------Shaqiri--------------
--Salah----Firmino---Mane
I think we will score multiple goals here, and really hope we can keep Auba/Ozil quiet.
Another bonus is that they play in the Carabao Cup in midweek so a chance for our players to come out really rested and fresh in comparison.
Watching Arsenal this season they have followed a number of key traits:
- Flat in every first half, seemingly playing just to see the lay of the land
- Their ability to play out from the back is still getting them in trouble (see Palace game yesterday)
- When they turn it on, they look powerful and slick. They seem to do this in bursts of about 6-8 minutes, score a couple and then shut up shop.
