First Striker – Alexis Sanchez

The 28-year-old Chilean has been such a deadly attacker for Arsenal this season and easily their best player. 22 goals and 14 assists in all competitions is jaw-dropping, despite missing some time due to injury. Sanchez may have been labeled in the media for a potential move away from the Emirates, but Arsenal should do everything in their power to keep him. He is a world-class forward that can score himself, while also setting up chances for the team. Sanchez makes Arsenal go, and is a player that Manchester City should be ready to limit tomorrow.
