Facts

The former Gunner player said he would like to see the pair of Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang play centrally together, with Mesut Ozil behind them in a 4-3-1-2 formation.

Arsenal lost their opening league game of the season 2-0 at home to reigning champions, Manchester City.

Team news

Midfielder Cesc Fabregas will not feature against his former club due to a minor injury, but Sarri hopes he will be back in training next week despite describing it as "a very unusual injury".

"He has a pain, not in the knee, [but] near the knee," said Sarri. Arsenal will be without Ainsley Maitland-Niles after he suffered a small fracture to his leg in last weekend's defeat to Manchester City that could rule him out for up to two months.

Maitland-Niles played at left-back in that loss and is likely to be replaced by fit-again Nacho Monreal, with Danny Welbeck also back in training, but Sead Kolasinac (knee), Laurent Koscielny (Achilles) and Carl Jenkinson (ankle) are absent.

Eden Hazard could start as Chelsea face Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday, but summer signing Mateo Kovacic is unlikely to make the XI. Hazard started on the bench for Chelsea's 3-0 opening-day win over Huddersfield, but looked bright after coming on late in the game and grabbed an assist.

Unai Emery has got to look at his squad, hes been there long enough now, hes got to change the system, for me. 4-3-1-2.

Play Ozil in the 10, play those two through the middle, Lacazette and Aubameyang.
