3. The fast start

It is something that Arteta’s side has been notorious for this season. The ability to score goals… and quickly.

Against Liverpool, Arsenal were ahead 2-0 inside 30 minutes and against West Ham, the Gunners slammed two past the Hammers inside 20 minutes. So, the attacking weaponry is there, it just has to show itself on the biggest stage of all.

A quick start and putting City on the back foot is crucial to Arsenal getting anything from this titanic clash.
