2) Xhaka Returns To The Fore
The Swiss international hasn’t been playing badly in recent weeks but his influence has been diminishing.
However, against both Sporting and Palace, Xhaka’s scoring touch returned, and he is once again making key contributions in the final third of the pitch.
Of course, it is easier to press forward when teams sit back, like Palace did at the weekend, but his positivity in possession will help the Gunners excel versus any opponent.
