Cazorla has been injured for a majority of the season

Arsenal were going strong till a month ago. They were constantly on Chelsea's heel threatening to take over the 1st spot from them. However, within a month, they have slipped down the rungs and are currently sitting uncomfortably at 5th place – outside the Champions League qualification zone and more importantly, below Spurs.

So, which position can Arsenal look to upgrade if they want to win the league for the first time since 2004? As many have observed, they are missing a certain Santi Cazorla, who is a very mobile midfielder. Cazorla has been injured for the majority of the season, it would be wise of Arsene Wenger to bring in someone in his mould.

Whether Arsenal can win the league this year or not, will depend very largely on the personnel they deploy in the middle of the park – an area where most of their game-plans are executed.

Potential Upgrades: Miralem Pjanic, Ivan Rakitic
