#1 The lethal double pivot of Lucas Torreira and Granit Xhaka

"He comes from Uruguay and he is just 5ft tall..."

Unai Emery has preferred a double pivot in the midfield for almost the whole season, and his tactic has absolutely paid off. The likes of Torreira and Xhaka have played a very impressive role as two CDMs, and they have always protected the back line.

Xhaka is 3rd on the list of the players with the most passes, and that explains us more about the speciality of 'Emery-ball'. Torreira, on the other hand, has the most interceptions and recoveries this season in the Premier League.

Torreira has turned out to be a fan-favorite for the Gunners, and he is just getting better with time. At the young age of 22, he is arguably better than several other defensive midfielders in the Premier League, and he is yet to unleash his true self.

Xhaka and Torreira have formed a robust partnership playing together, and they have set the North London side ablaze.
