Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is demanding his strikers pick up their form going into their clash with Newcastle United.

Incredibly, Arsenal have had 64 shots in their last three games and scored just two goals while they have created more chances than any other team in the Premier League.

Wenger said: “Not quite clinical enough, yes. It's difficult to explain. As we spoke about Sanchez last year, he scored 24, he's on four at the moment. But he is still committed and he works hard.

“I feel if you look at his (Lacazette) record, it's quite good. Especially at home. At home his scoring record is really good. Away from home, a bit less.

“But also, do the teams defend better? You could say no, because we create more chances than anybody else. Are the chances of the same quality? I don't know. There is no objective reason to have a verdict on that.

“Is it confidence? Is it the fact that the guys think we have absolutely to score? It's difficult to know. But we have the chances, the quality of our game is there. But it's true that at the moment, we cannot show it up with points."
