Arsenal manager Unai Emery has urged David Luiz to keep spraying the long balls.

During his second spell at Chelsea Luiz often played long balls to Pedro, and created more 'big chances' than any other Premier League centre-back last season with 11.

The Telegraph says Emery has told Luiz to aim for star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang when he receives the ball, and he is hopeful the Brazilian will be able to set up the Gabonese forward on a number of occasions this season.

It will be interesting to see whether this tactic is put into effect during Arsenal's upcoming trip to Anfield to take on Liverpool .

Both Luiz and Aubameyang are expected to start the match, with the latter looking to continue his scoring streak having netted once in each of Arsenal's opening two fixtures, a 1-0 win over Newcastle and 2-1 victory against Burnley.
