3. Keep a lid on De Bruyne
While Sergio Aguero is a doubt for the game, Manchester City still have a wealth of attacking talent and the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva could well put Arsenal to the sword. Arsene needs to drill his defenders and Joel Campbell who could be taking on Kevin De Bruyne down the wings. The Belgian has been an instant success for Manchester City and with nine goals and six assists to his name this season; he has to be curtailed if Arsenal have to win.
The job wouldn’t only fall to Campbell but also to Monreal down the left of Arsenal. The duo have to play to their abilities and beyond if they are to keep the influential Belgian out of the game. Silva also is a threat for Arsenal but the greater problem for the Gunners would be De Bruyne and they have to be smart in dealing with him.
