Arsenal’s ineffectiveness in front of goal can no longer be overlooked as the Gunners have been on the wrong end of some rotten luck. It’s a skill issue. They lack ‘killers’ in the final third, especially with Saka out.
However, they continue to have impressive control of matches and should find success here against Tottenham’s build given the visitors’ rampant injuries in defence. However, Spurs have shown signs of developing as a unit with several key pieces missing, and Kinski has boosted the backline almost immediately.
We may not be subject to thrills and spills here, but there could be late drama in a tense Emirates draw.
