Player(s) to watch:

• Gabriel Martinelli is very sharp and alert when putting pressure on the opposition defense. He anticipates very well and is very explosive which causes a lot of trouble for the defenders. The Brazilian can keep the ball very close to his feet when he runs at full pace, which allows him to twist and turn. Even though he does face a lot of criticism due to his inconsistency but still for Arteta he is a key player for the team. Overall he is a hardworking player who does a lot of running on the pitch and has a good impact on the team. In 18 Premier League games, he has scored five goals and provided two assists.
• Lucas Bergvall is very creative with his off-the-ball movements and likes to find the best space to receive the ball with good timings, linking up the team’s midfield and attack. He is a player with an outstanding vision and composure to provide the line-breaking passes in the final third. Bergvall has extraordinary thinking when he is on the ball, he often chooses options that are unexpected for the opposition. Likes to have freedom on the pitch and likes to orchestrate the game by himself. His playing style is very similar to that of Ivan Rakitic. He has a passing accuracy of 90% per game and accurate long-range passing of 69% per game.
