Norwich City manager Alex Neil believes that Arsenal are the best attacking team in the Premier League.
The Gunners have only picked up one point from a possible six in the last two Premier League games but a 3-0 win against Dinamo Zagreb in the UEFA Champions League looked to get them back on track.
Speaking ahead of his side’s game against the Gunners on Sunday, Neil told the media that he thinks Arsenal are the hardest team to stop when going forward.
Arsenal will want to put points on the board. They have had a good season and are the hardest attacking team to stop.
The north London side currently boast the best away record in the league this season, winning five of their seven games so far. They sit fourth in the table thanks to Alexis Sanchez’s upturn in form and Mesut Özil providing the assists.
Norwich, on the other hand, sit 16th in the division and have failed to beat any of last season’s top six so far this season. Neil spoke of his surprise at the ‘bigger teams’ lack of enthusiasm to play a more attacking style of football at Carrow Road.
We will be regarded as one of the smaller teams in the league. But even when so-called bigger teams come to our place, they have been happy to sit behind the ball, soak up pressure and hit you on the counter-attack and that sort of surprised me.
You would have thought that some of them would have come here and tried to impose themselves, go toe-to-toe but that has not been the case and has been quite surprising.
The Gunners could end the weekend at the top of the Premier League with victory, pending other results go in their favour.
