Kevin Campbell: “Gunners should play 'devastating' duo in attack”

Former Arsenal star Kevin Campbell reckons Arsenal must find a way to play both Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang together in the starting line-up. "When [Aubameyang's] look at his record, he's played something like 30 games and got 20 goals," ex-Arsenal striker Campbell told Ian Stone's Comedy Breakfast (weekdays 6.30am-10.30am). "That's incredible. He likes to play on the shoulder, he doesn't really get involved in the build-up so Arsenal have got to pick the players that will compliment his style. Mesut Ozil compliments Aubameyang's style because he's a creative style so moving forwards he could play and pay dividends on Sunday." He added: "I would play both of Aubameyang and Lacazette up the top of the pitch. If Lacazette is fit, he plays as the focal point up front because he's better with his back to goal. He brings people into play, he's good at holding the ball up so Aubameyang and Ozil can get into position to receive balls and run off him. If Lacazette is fit, he plays but I don't see no reason why he can't tinker with the squad a little bit and get Aubameyang a bit closer to Lacazette because as a partnership they could be devastating." Campbell is confident it’s smart to drop Mesut Ozil. "I think it's smart management [to drop Ozil]. We know that sometimes when it gets really physical, people accuse Mesut Ozil of not even turning up for the game," Campbell added. "It's away, it was going to be tough so he's used his squad the best he can, he changed the system and Mesut Ozil is there on the bench if he needs him. This manager isn't afraid to make tough decisions. The challenge is down right there for Mesut Ozil. I think he'll definitely play [in the north London derby]. He's a big-game player. Sometimes the mindset is more difficult against the smaller teams because playing against the big teams, that's the one you're motivated for. I think there are a few mind games going on with the manager and I think he's challenged Mesut Ozil, and I think Ozil will show up."
