Chelsea matched this, and in Moises Caicedo\u2019s case, you could accuse him of being a tad overzealous.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ecuadorian was deservedly sent off after a studs-high tackle on Merino.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it was representative of a game in the first half that was chock full of fouls, cards and stoppages. There was always the danger of a red card happening, as the first 45 minutes alone saw six cards handed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chelsea matched Arsenal in terms of being physical in the duels, and it meant that there was never a rhythm to the game until Caicedo\u2019s sending off, when the Blues were forced to drop deeper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-chelsea-match-arsenal-3v3\"><strong>Chelsea match Arsenal 3v3\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This season, Arsenal have dropped three or four players in the middle of the pitch who aren\u2019t playing in midfield, to try and dominate that area and create space elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It helps to have Merino up front as a false nine to do this because the Spaniard is used to playing as a central midfielder.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, against Bayern Munich, Merino would drop into the middle of the pitch, followed by defender Jonathan Tah. As he would drag him out of position, it created space up front.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arteta tried to use a similar tactic against Chelsea, but Enzo Maresca had a plan for this in response.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1620\" height=\"1620\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/30190358\/Arsenal_AveragePositions_30-11-25.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1415540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/30190358\/Arsenal_AveragePositions_30-11-25.jpg 1620w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/30190358\/Arsenal_AveragePositions_30-11-25-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/30190358\/Arsenal_AveragePositions_30-11-25-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/30190358\/Arsenal_AveragePositions_30-11-25-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/30190358\/Arsenal_AveragePositions_30-11-25-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/30190358\/Arsenal_AveragePositions_30-11-25-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/30190358\/Arsenal_AveragePositions_30-11-25-267x267.jpg 267w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/30190358\/Arsenal_AveragePositions_30-11-25-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/30190358\/Arsenal_AveragePositions_30-11-25-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/30190358\/Arsenal_AveragePositions_30-11-25-40x40.jpg 40w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1620px) 100vw, 1620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Chelsea frequently matched Arsenal man for man in the middle of the pitch, so whenever Eberechi Eze, Merino or Jurrien Timber would attempt to get on the ball, they were swiftly followed by a Chelsea shirt, be it Reece James, Enzo Fernandez or Trevoh Chalobah stepping out of defence. Arsenal didn\u2019t help themselves by misplacing a lot of passes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chelsea\u2019s discipline to keep this up after the red card was admirable, and though they conceded, Maresca\u2019s side showed that they can be tactically astute when down to 10 men, and they needed to be as it was the fourth league game this season where they picked up a red card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reece-james-fills-midfield-void\"><strong>Reece James<\/strong> fills midfield void<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Reece James has had his fair share of struggles with injuries.
