IMO the best way to fight Arsenal is playing a possession football and controlling the tempo as much as possible. It needs excellent and skillful players in midfield. Apparently, Milan is the best to do that.
The only matter I fear most is about their striker's speed. We all know how quick are Henry, Reyes and Ljungberg. Our full-backs should NOT let 'em out of their sight, even for once.

Its true, on paper Milan are well set up to beat Arsenal as the mix of midfielders at Milan is second to none. The only potential weakness for Milan would be Cafu pushing up to much as he would be facing Arsenals left wing, the strongest part of their team. Henry, Reyes, Pires and Cole all work extremely well together here so denying them space is crucial. I might be tempted to play Stam at Right Back if i were in charge

And if Milan plays like this and win; The news headlines for the next day would be:
Italian teams are defensive; again..
Mighty Arsenal was unlucky not to win although having possession
Milan: Anti-football

oh yes, Milan would have to be anti-football to beat "The Invincibles"
