#3 Play with effective offside traps

Arguably Arsenal's best defender of the season - Sokratis

Arsenal has been shambolic defensively this season, and Unai Emery's possession-based football demands a high line of defense from his defenders. Though the Gunners aren't capable of matching Son's pace, they could certainly do the job of holding him down by playing effective offside traps.

Heung Min Son has not been much effective in his last two games for Tottenham and failed to score. However, his pace is extremely dangerous against big sides. One cannot forget his incredible solo goal against Chelsea at Wembley where he went past Jorginho, David Luiz, and Kepa to fire it into the net.

Having proper offside traps could make the difference for Arsenal by frustrating Spurs' forwards and eventually forcing them to commit more mistakes in the game. Playing a back three would help achieve this motive as center-backs are always more experienced and wiser while executing offside traps, than fullbacks.
