I hope, I just hope, tomorrow is the return of Lacazette and Aubameyang in the team
Charlie Nicholas on Southampton vs Arsenal
Aubameyang and Lacazette began the 1-0 home win over Huddersfield last weekend but the latter was taken off at half time by Emery.
And Nicholas believes Southampton is the type of team the two strikers can exploit together.
“I hope, I just hope, tomorrow is the return of Lacazette and Aubameyang in the team,” he said.
“I think you can pick holes in Southampton.”

The match will be Ralph Hasenhuttl’s first home game in charge of Southampton.
Nicholas is expecting Saints to play a pressing style of football which could play into Arsenal’s hands.
“Unai Emery will be working out all the scenarios best suited for his team,” he continued.
“And it will be ‘don’t take risks at the back, just knock it into little areas in the wide positions or just drop it beyond the midfield so we can find pockets of space’.
