#2 Can Arsenal maintain their discipline?
When the emotions and stakes run high, Arsene Wenger’s men always lose control as they have been shown four red cards in the last five matches. Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlin has urged his team-mates to maintain discipline when they face Chelsea on Saturday.
It’d be nice to keep 11 men on the pitch against Chelsea this time round,” Oxlade-Chamberlain told Arsenal Player. “I know it sounds funny but generally speaking in the last few games against them, it’s always a big clash with a lot of emotions and maybe some mind games.”
The Gunners had players sent off in both their meetings last season and also in a 6-0 hammering at Stamford Bridge in Arsene Wenger’s 1000th game in charge of the club in 2014.
