1) Protecting The Right Flank

Bukayo Saka

Cedric struggled badly against Wilfried Zaha during the defeat in April, and Arteta will need to work out how best to protect Arsenal’s right-hand side.


If they play a back four, doubling up (with Bukayo Saka tracking back) is vital. Alternatively, with a five-man defence, Ben White and Saka would be the ones keeping an eye on the Ivorian ace.
