A formation not dissimiliar from the much-criticised one used by Louis van Gaal at Manchester United this season, Arsenal could even try their luck with a 3-5-2 or 3-4-1-2 formation this season. Three at the back has not exactly worked a treat at the top level of English football before and may be a bit too much of a change for the Gunners at this stage, especially as they don’t currently have the players who can fill these positions, with Jack Wilshere and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain hardly ideal as wing-backs, having never played there before in their careers. Three centre-backs is also not adviseable, as that is the exact amount of players Arsene Wenger currently has for that position, with any injury leaving them in a potential crisis at the back.
