GRANIT XHAKA AND LUCAS TORREIRA v CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN AND DELE ALLI
HOW those Arsenal midfielders manage that area in between the lines where Eriksen and Dele and Son play will be where the game is won and lost. Tottenham will likely have more possession. So if you can stop Dele getting into those pockets of space and pressure Eriksen when he gets the ball a bit deeper, you will frustrate Spurs. Keep them in front of you and you have a chance. If they get in behind you, you’re struggling. To stop that means you have to keep the lines between defensive midfield and the back four really close together.
