The France international is currently out with a foot problem, but is expected to return before Christmas and with new £16m signing Danny Welbeck also in good form Wenger may well play both of them upfront.
“We haven’t got that balance at the moment. In Europe it’s very difficult in particular, but you will certainly see it [4-4-2] during the season,” the 64-year-old was quoted by the Independent.
Here is what that formation could look like.
