2) Arsenal have pace in attack now
Another reason Arsenal will pose a threat going forward is the vast improvement in the pace of their attack this season. Last year the Gunners went to Stamford Bridge without the injured Theo Walcott, meaning Olivier Giroud was the lone striker. Despite the relativre strengths of the French forward, he is not one who is ever going to stretch a top side like Chelsea, but Danny Welbeck and Alexis Sanchez’s running will be a very different prospect indeed.
