4. Beware of Luis Suarez’s runs

Arsenal faced off against the poor man’s Luis Suarez in Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy less than a week ago and largely kept him in check. He had a good chance that was kept out only because of the excellent Petr Cech but it was his movement that caused some trouble.

Much like Vardy, Suarez is a non-stop ball of energy, constantly making runs in behind the defense and terrorizing defenders. The Uruguayan is known for forcing defenders in to errors with his activity and Arsenal must be aware of that.

Neymar and Messi are a force on their own but Suarez is the cutting edge of that attacking trident. He has 44 goals this season in all competitions and Arsenal must keep him in front of their defense at all costs. They are all too familiar with Suarez from his Liverpool days so perhaps Wenger learned a thing or two from all those meetings in England.
