#2 The defence can be good if managed properly
When the players are fit and played in their proper positions, the Arsenal defence is not as bad as statistics or popular opinion will have you believe.
They may have conceded 8 goals in the season but ever since the debacle at Anfield which saw Arsene Wenger deploy Hector Bellerin as a left wing back and have an improving but slow Rob Holding against a rapid Sadio Mane, the defence has gelled better, conceding no goals in the last four games.
Sead Kolasinac and Bellerin have been excellent in their favoured wing-back positions while Shkodran Mustafi, Nacho Monreal, and captain Laurent Koscielny have looked solid as well.
As long as Wenger does not tinker too much and plays his defenders in their accustomed positions, this team has a shot at the title.
