#2 Lack of depth in Arsenal's squad
At Manchester City, if in case Laporte and John Stones get injured, Pep has two world-class backup defenders at his disposal - Kompany and Otamendi. If Mohammad Salah and Sadio Mane get injured, Klopp has Shaqiri and Daniel Sturridge who can still put in decent performances and win points for Liverpool.
Same way, if Chelsea's star player Eden Hazard takes up an injury, you have Pedro, Willian, Barkley or Loftus Cheek who can perform on the left flank. Well, that's not the case with Arsenal.
One injury to Rob Holding and Arsenal's defence looks absolutely clueless. Mustafi has never been good enough to play for Arsenal and Sokratis is still not at his very best. The injury to Mkhitaryan left Arsenal with absolutely no creativity and Mesut Ozil's inconsistency has cost him his starting position.
Unai Emery only has a handful of players at his fingertips, on whom he can rely on. That is not the case when it comes to Pep's Manchester City or Klopp's Liverpool. Arsenal had a chance to strengthen their squad, but the board was least interested and as a result, Arsenal might once again play Europa League football, taking a huge hit on their annual revenue and missing out on some lucrative Champions League funds.
