Arsenal boss Emery: Lacazette and Aubameyang can score goals - together

Arsenal boss Unai Emery says playing Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang together is a genuine possibility for their trip to Chelsea.

Emery insisted they could play together as he looks for a winning formula in his line-up.

He said: “The possibility to play Aubameyang and Lacazette is okay because we are trying like that in pre-season and also last year they played together also.

“Each match is different, each match is a different possibility. Against Manchester City, the last 25, 30 minutes they played together. For me it is to find good balance for all that we want in attacking moments and defensive moments.

“I want to look at every player together, how to get Aubameyang and Lacazette scoring more goals, whether as one or together.

“I want to give them the chances in each match and maybe we need a lot of matches for the chances for every player but we started with the pre-season and every player is playing for chances and minutes and with all the competitions.

“We started on Sunday and we play Sunday, Sunday, Sunday but in September we will start playing Sunday and Thursday and also we are going to play more matches and I think every player will get chances to show us his performance for the team."
