Several differences really. We have the same manager and mainly the same staff but there is a huge difference between those two years you have mentioned. We now have a plan B, we have won big games in this year alone. United home and away, city away, liverpool etc. We are beating teams that we struggled against last year, swansea, everton and looking comfortable. WE have a world class player in the four areas. Cech, Koscienly, Ozil and Sanchez. There is a huge difference between this year and five years ago. Injuries are starting to appear but if we can get a grip on them, and players return as scheduled after the break this month, we have a strong squad.

Chelsea and united look weak, city struggle without aguero and silva in the big games. We have a real chance this year, and Wenger has changed tactics to manage the squad and win the big games.
