Arsenal’s best XI after 11 Premier League matches

CF – Alexis Sanchez

Alexis Sanchez’s move to the more advanced role has been a revelation for Arsenal so far this season.

The Chilean has six Premier League goals from 11 matches, but has also laid on three assists for hs teammates.

And it’s this all-round ability which has seen Arsenal flourish this season.

With Sanchez upfront, Arsenal are quicker in the final third and their build-up play is sharper, with the likes of Walcott, Iwobi, and Oxlade-Chamberlain using their pace to get in behind opposition defenders.

Olivier Giroud has done well when coming off the bench, especially when the Gunners need a greater presence up front or to modify their gameplan, but he’s not going to replace Sanchez in the starting role any time soon.
