Last season:
- Games: 52
- Goals: 18
- Assists: 10
Sadio Mane: Scored a fantastic curler against Southampton last weekend, which was certainly against the run of play. But that’s the beauty of this team, with world-class talents who can win games on their own. And the Senegalese very much one of the best wingers in the whole world.
Last season:
- Games: 55
- Goals: 29
- Assists: 03

- Games: 54
- Goals: 29
- Assists: 10
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang: Has scored in the last two games. Shared the golden boot with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane last season after scoring 22 times during the 2018-19 campaign.
Last season’s stats:
- Games: 49
- Goals: 31
- Assists: 07
Alexandre Lacazette: The former Lyon striker is another supremely talented forward player on Arsenal’s roster. He started the last game and scored the first goal of the game against Burnley at the Emirates Stadium.
Last season’s stats:
- Games: 45
- Goals: 18
- Assists: 10
Nicolas Pepe: Arsenal’s record signing will be in contention for a place in the starting 11. He is a heck of a good player, always a threat out on the wings, while his passing is good as well.

- Games: 38
- Goals: 22
- Assists: 11
