Arsenal needs Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette to prove their worth vs Manchester City, according to Charlie Nicholas.
Charlie believes both forwards do not show up in big games sometimes and that cannot help Arsenal’s cause in the EPL at all.
Ex-Arsenal player, Nicholas added that since a weak defence will keep worrying Freddie Ljungberg, the proven strikers have to get the job done when they are presented with an opportunity.
His words, “We can guarantee goals in this one,”
“Man City posted an emphatic win midweek but have major problems at the back.
“The Arsenal strikers looked as though they were more up for it and are scoring [in a 3-1 win over West Ham]. Bukayo Saka played his part in the draw at Standard Liege, as did Gabriel Martinelli off the bench – we have some real promising youngsters.
“These are the games that they haven’t got a result in and I am not expecting one here.
“Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang sometimes do not turn up in these games, if they get picked that is.
“I really have sympathy for Bernd Leno. He is a top-class goalkeeper but he will make mistakes as all goalkeepers do.
“He is playing behind a defence who do not protect him. There will be loads of goals in this.”
