The lively Arsenals destiny may be favourable following their most important match at the Emirates as they breezed over Erik ten Hags Manchester United.
Recent successes against Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham, Chelsea, and sixth-place Brighton attest to Mikel Artetas progress owing to his diligence and effective communication.
The teams success and discipline have both improved greatly since ten Hag took charge. Despite the removal of Cristiano Ronaldo, that appears to be working out well.
This tactical analysis will illustrate the key plays that determined the outcome of the game. This analysis will look at the tactics used by both and also delves into why Arteta, ever-animated on the sidelines, saw this game as so crucial.
Lineups
Mikel Arteta, feeling the vibes of the home crowd, kicked things off with his go-to 4-3-3 formation, with Aaron Ramsdale in goal. Centre-backs Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba began the game as a solid pairing, with Oleksandr Zinchenko and Ben White on either side.
For most of the contest, Thomas Partey took on the role of the lone pivot, with Granit Xhaka and Martin Ødegaard positioned just above him. The young Brazilian, Gabriel Martinelli and the lightning Bukayo Saka were placed as the flank men. In Gabriel Jesus absence, Eddie Nketiah began in the middle of the attack, who has been vital to the team.
The 4-2-3-1 formation, which Erik ten Hag has always favoured, was used. World Cup heroes Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane began in the defence, with David de Gea in goal. The starting fullback spots went to the red-hot Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Luke Shaw.
Bruno Fernandes played immediately above Scott McTominay and Christian Eriksen, who acted as the double pivots. On the wings were the skilled Antony and the explosive Marcus Rashford. In Anthony Martials absence, Wout Weghorst gets his second start under ten Hag.
