#3 Chelsea are not bulletproof
They may have won 30 of their 38 league games, but no team on the planet is perfect and Chelsea do have subtle areas of weakness. The fact the league champions are planning a multi-million-pound spending spree in the summer only re-enforces the narrative that they want to improve.
Marcos Alonso has had a good first season in English football, but his lack of pace may provide Arsenal with opportunities to expose. If targeted constantly in the right manner, the Spaniard could be overrun by both Mesut Özil and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain down the right flank.
Alongside him in the back five, Gary Cahill’s inconsistent decision-making has been less apparent this season. The Englishman relies on his fellow defenders for cover his positioning. Chelsea’s system covers the unit as a whole, but if Arsenal can isolate the centre-backs from their partners, it may lead to several goal-scoring opportunities.
