One of the questions currently being asked by Arsenal fans is how strikers Robin van Persie and Marouane Chamakh will line-up for the Gunners in the offensive department.

With the Moroccan leading the Arsenal forward line for the last two games, he was shifted to the right after the introduction of the Dutchman against Blackpool last Saturday and many are wondering if he will indeed be used on the right when van Persie returns to full fitness and makes his comeback in Wenger’s regular eleven.

Speaking about the compatibility between the two, the Frenchman started by praising new-boy Chamakh, explaining how he played a major role in the 6-0 win over Blackpool even if he is still adapting to the style of the Gunners.

On how he intends to use the two strikers together, Wenger concluded by saying that the 4-4-2 formation is a possibility although he needs time before taking a final decision on such a tactical change. The Frenchman also said how he is very satisfied with the forward line, explaining how the options available to him are plenty.

He said:

I believe he is a player who adapts still to our style but if you look at the impact he has on the game; he got the penalty, he got the sending off, he got the goal and he was involved in the goal last week. He is an efficient player and he has still to adapt to our style. But I am very confident that when you see the header today his goals can be vital in big games.

They can play together but that will be a 4-4-2. We’ll see, it depends a little bit, one can play on the flank and come in, but at the moment we have plenty of choice going forward – touch wood.
