Premier League: Opinion - Arsenal's predicted starting XI for the 2019/20 season

Center Forward - Alexander Lacazette

Alexandre Lacazette combines very well with Aubameyang

The Frenchman has a great understanding with Aubameyang and is a proven goal scorer. Though he was not as prolific as his teammate last season, Alexandre Lacazette still managed to score 19 goals in all competitions. His hold up play is exquisite, while he is also a great reader of the game. The Frenchman has a tendency to be at the right place at the right time and also is an expert in bringing his teammates into play.

The Frenchman has fantastic finishing abilities and that is why he would lead the line for Arsenal.

Right Forward - Nicolas Pepe

Nicolas Pepe is a fantastic addition to the Arsenal team

Arsenal managed a coup of sorts when they convinced Nicolas Pepe to join them this summer. The Ivorian is one of the most talented wide forwards in the world and is blessed with the explosive combination of speed and skills that can torture even the best defenses in the world. In this Arsenal team, Pepe would flourish alongside like-minded players and a coach who would give him the freedom to express himself.

Last season, the Ivorian managed 22 goals and 11 assists in all competitions in Ligue 1. While the Premier League is a different monster, one can expect Pepe to have a similar impact for his new club. The thought of Aubameyang and Pepe galloping forward on the counter should make Arsenal fans rub their hands in glee.
