#3 Reliable Midfield

The Xhaka-Torreira partnership couldn't get any better! Arsenal, last week, dominated a world-class team like Liverpool, who could do nothing to stop the Arsenal midfielders from running the show.

Torreira is probably the best signing of the summer for the Gunners. The former Sampdoria player transpires positivity on the pitch, and he always looks to move forward when he has possession of the ball.

This is something the Arsenal midfielders have lacked, as the likes of Xhaka and Wilshere failed to break defences with their passes.

His quick passes and fast mind has helped Arsenal in starting off attacks, and it seems like he will be staying at the Emirates for a long time. Torreira is a gem of a player - thanks to Unai Emery for noticing his talent when nobody else did.

Also, the competition Xhaka is facing from the bench has significantly impacted his game. He is quicker, more confident, and reliable in the midfield. This midfield duo can lead them to glory, you never know.
