One can never predict how Arsenal are gonna line up for a particular game. Emery does not have a fixed starting eleven. Throughout the season, he has continuously rotated the squad, depending upon the opposition.

Against Tottenham at the Emirates, Unai Emery played a 3-man defence and scored 4 past Spurs. Against Chelsea, he played a 4-4-2 and registered a comfortable 2-0 win. Very often, Emery has switched to a 4-2-3-1, which appears to be his favourite formation.

The players have not shown difficulty in adjusting to various systems and therefore, Emery has the freedom to select the perfect formation for the Gunners without having the fear of dropping points.

The manager is fast transforming his team to play more attacking football, have possession of the ball and start playing from the back. When they take the lead, the players drop back and attack lethally on counters. Emery is building a team who can not only hold possession and attack steadily but can also attack efficiently in quick transitions.


Predicted Arsenal XI: Leno, Mustafi, Sokratis, Koscielny, Kolasinac, Lichsteiner, Xhaka, Torreira, Mkhitaryan, Aubameyang, Iwobi.

Predicted Tottenham XI: Lloris, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Rose, Aurier, Sissoko, Eriksen, Winks, Son, Kane

Prediction: Tottenham 1 - 4 Arsenal
