ARSENAL forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has urged Unai Emery to play him alongside Alexandre Lacazette this season.
The Gabon international started for the Gunners on Sunday during the 2-0 defeat to Manchester City.
But Lacazette was only used as a second-half substitute at the Emirates, much to the surprise of the Arsenal faithful.
Aubameyang worked well with the Frenchman when he finally entered the field, as the home side looked for a way back into the tie.
And the January signing has told Emery to throw both strikers in from start when the north London outfit travel to Chelsea on Saturday evening.
"We really get on well,' Aubameyang told ESPN.
There is a spark between us when we are both on the pitch together.
'We look for each other, we saw it [on Sunday] against City when he came on.
"I don't mind playing on the left if Laca is in the centre.
We both want to do our best for the team."
Arsenal may have been easily swept aside by last season's champions at the weekend but Emery's new-look side showed they are set to use a totally different setup to when Arsene Wenger was in charge.
And Aubameyang believes the new system will take time to perfect.
"We still need some time to adapt to the new manager and to integrate the new players," he added.
"It is hard to test ourselves in a first game like this against City because they are so strong.
We have to stay positive, work on the things we did well and improve on the rest.
"We will have a better idea next weekend after the Chelsea game.
"The message of the new coach is all about showing character, to put a lot of intensity, play high up the pitch and implement a big pressing.
"That's the style we will play this season."
