Hazard & Oscar vs Arteta & Flamini
Chelsea is dependent on their attacking midfielders for much of the offensive output this season, and Hazard and Oscar have been two of their highest scorers. They have not only been the main source of creativity but also the main source of goals, and as the performance against Aston Villa suggested, if they can be stopped, Chelsea can be kept at bay.
The two men who are likely to be entrusted with that duty are Mikel Arteta and Mathieu Flamini who will be tasked with the role of shackling Hazard and Oscar. They will have to put in a good performance and ensure that they do not get caught out too often or it could be detrimental to Arsenal’s cause.
