Arsenal legend Charlie Nicholas believes Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang go missing in Premier League matches against the top six.
The pair have scored 16 goals between them in the Premier League this season, despite their side’s inconsistent form.
Freddie Ljungberg’s side welcome reigning champions Manchester City to the Emirates tomorrow afternoon, with the Swede looking to claim his second league win as temporary boss.
But in a stinging attack, Nicholas believes the two will once again let the Gunners down against Pep Guardiola’s side.
"We can guarantee goals in this one. I am going to go for a high scoreline here," the Scot told Sky Sports.
"Man City posted an emphatic win midweek but have major problems at the back.
"The Arsenal strikers looked as though they were more up for it and are scoring.
"Bukayo Saka played his part in the draw at Standard Liege, as did Gabriel Martinelli off the bench – we have some real promising youngsters.
"These are the games that they haven’t got a result in and I am not expecting one here.
"Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang sometimes do not turn up in these games, if they get picked that is.
"I really have sympathy for Bernd Leno. He is a top-class goalkeeper but he will make mistakes as all goalkeepers do.
"He is playing behind a defence who do not protect him.
"There will be loads of goals in this."
