#4 Arsenal akin to Liverpool
And this is where Arsenal could damage the Citizens. Before the winter transfer window, this wasn’t possible simply because the Gunners didn’t have the players necessary to do something like what Liverpool did.
The Red have perhaps the best trio in the league, but Arsenal’s newly formed trio of Mesut Ozil, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan are also up there among the elites. Like the trio of Salah, Mane and Firmino, the North London’s famous trio also have the pace, precision and creativity required to inflict pain on the counter.
City play a high line and Mesut Ozil has the vision to feed balls to Aubameyang, who is one of the fastest players in the world right now. And then there is the wizardry of Mkhitaryan from the sides.
