#3 Keep it compact in the middle

A big part to Unai Emery's philosophy is how he utilises his midfield. We saw it at Sevilla, Paris Saint-Germain and now we're seeing it at Arsenal.

Currently, Arsenal's midfield currently consists of the right balance. Lucas Torreira deals with the defensive and nitty-gritty side of things, while Granit Xhaka focuses on keeping the passes coming in midfield, and Aaron Ramsey looks to bomb forward into pockets of space whenever possible. It's not been the case for a while, but Arsenal fans, now, are delighted with their midfield.

Obviously, Ramsey looks set to leave relatively soon. Whether he will be sold in January or leave for free in the summer remains to be seen, but again, Arsenal mustn't focus on that.

Being the man of heavy video research he is, Unai Emery probably already has the ideal replacement in mind, so things should keep ticking smoothly for the Gunners.
