Thierry Henry gave a detailed analysis on Monday Night Football of Arsenal's currently ailing approach play, and singled out one weak point in the Gunners' attack. Arsenal spent the last two seasons pushing Manchester City right to the end in their bid for a first Premier League title since 2003-04, but fell just short, and look set to miss out again this term.

Liverpool under Arne Slot appear to be the side that has profited best from City's 11-game run with just one win in all competitions, while Arsenal again dropped points at the weekend in a drab 0-0 draw with Everton at home. Bukayo Saka has continued his stunning rise to become one of the leading right wingers in world football with 10 assists in the league already, but if the Gunners are to end their wait for silverware there is the feeling they cannot solely rely on him.

Martin Odegaard's return to fitness has been a boost offensively, but there are questions currently surrounding the left wing spot, which would appear to be the weak link in the attack. As such, Henry offered a fascinating insight into how the Gunners operate moving forward and, using the 2-0 win over Manchester United earlier this month as a case study - highlighted where Gabriel Martinelli needs to improve.
