Mesut Ozil says Santi Cazorla and Alexis Sanchez add quality to the Arsenal midfield.
The Gunners currently boast one of the most exciting midfields in the Premier League with the Chilean scoring 19 goals in all competitions this season.
And Ozil believes the creativity of the Arsenal midfield is one of the reasons why they are in the top three.
"[Santi and Alexis] are the type of players that, like myself, think before things happen on the pitch," Ozil told Arsenal's official website.
"Especially with Santi, you can see that he's playing such an outstanding season for the team and he's so important for us.
"When you look at the whole squad, it doesn't matter if the manager rotates slightly because we can compete as a team, no matter who is playing. That's a big plus for us and that's why we're near the top of the league.
"[My partnership with Alexis is] progressing really well, and you can see that in our matches. He's really important for the team and that shows with the goals - he's scored a lot of goals this season.
"You can see it in training too - I look for him when I have the ball because he makes those runs. For that reason, we're happy to have a player like that in our ranks."
