Alexandre Lacazette was in the starting of Arsenal that beat Newcastle United 2-0 on Monday and the striker also got on the score sheet.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was also going to start the match against Newcastle United but Unai Emery said that the Gabon international was put on thr bench because he had a temperature. The gunners will play eight matches including a UEFA Europa League tie against Napoli in this month and Unai Emery is expected to keep rotating his squad so that the players don’t get fatigued.

Arsenal’s head coach Unai Emery faced the media in the afternoon and he was asked if Alexandre Lacazette would be on the bench in their match against Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday. The Arsenal coach said that each match has its own game plan and tried to make an explanation about how he will either choose to play Lacazette or not.

“It depends above all on our quality with the players. We need every player, every striker, Lacazette and Aubameyang. Sometimes they can both play, sometimes with one on the bench.” said Unai Emery telling the Arsenal Media.

“It depends in the 90 minutes how we can respond tactically with one or two. Above all it’s very important to be with the commitment in every moment to help us and to understand what we need in each moment.”
