2. Midfield overloading and maturity
It will be fascinating to see what kind of a line up Wenger decides to go with. What can the French Economics professor do to overload Guardiola’s flexible 4-3-3 formation? If I were the tall Arsenal manager, wearing the overgrown tracksuit, I would play Wilshere alongside Flamini’s calm presence in the middle of the park.
Rosicky should be playing such games, even if it means Arsenal playing without a striker, along with Mesut Ozil. Up front it will be Chamberlain and Cazorla, like I said above looking to change flanks and trying to draft in the middle of the final third. This gives Arsenal options with Rosicky playing as a sweeping midfielder, Ozil repeatedly joining attacks and obviously Cazorla and Chamberlain having attacking threats of their own.
