#3 Arsenal are vulnerable on the break
Arsene Wenger's side must be given credit for taking the initiative of having a go at the Premier League table-toppers right from the first whistle. Sanchez - amidst shaping rumours that he may be headed towards Manchester City when the transfer window re-opens in January - looked industrious on the ball, looking to force his way into a very organised Manchester City defence.
Mesut Ozil - also seeking a move away from the Emirates in the winter - picked out a bunch of neat passes early in the game to give Arsenal a positive start.
Despite showing purpose in attack, Arsenal's major frailty was exposed each time they lost out on the ball - the counter-attack. City looked to punish their opponents on the break every time, owing to the vision of Kevin de Bruyne and the pace of Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane in the wide areas.
Francis Coquelin looked very uncomfortable in a defensive role, rather than in a holding midfielder's position as he was caught out of position on every counter-attack. Arsene Wenger's side could have considered themselves extremely fortunate to have still been in the game at the interval, owing to City's wastefulness when it came to finishing.
