Arsenal’s possession style at home will maximise our ability to counter-attack…
At the Emirates – it would be a huge surprise to see Arsenal finish the 90 with less possession than us. They’ll look to pass us to death, and our wing-backs will be have to be especially defensively disciplined so that we’re not left short at the back. But our wing-backs (Alberto Moreno on the left, and either Raheem Sterling or Lazar Markovic on the right) have unbelievable pace – as do our forward players (Coutinho, Daniel Sturridge if it and Sterling if used in his natural position). This maximises our ability to counter-attack – which away from home against a very good side is probably the best way to play it. If Lucas, Jordan Henderson or Joe Allen (depending on who starts) can battle to win back possession, quick transitions could lead to chances.
