As Arsenal prepare the host Manchester United on Saturday night, Arsene Wenger is under pressure to orchestrate his team to their first victory over the Red Devils in more than three years.

So far this season the Gunners have been predictable in attack. Wenger is yet to find the right formula for the front four to be at their best.

With Theo Walcott returning, Arsenal have a chance to line-up with the fastest front four in football.

Walcott’s pace is so vital to Arsenal’s game. He has been one of the most productive Arsenal players over the last few seasons. When he has been injured, the Gunners attack has lacked a killer instinct. Adding more pace to the attack can only be a positive addition.

The front four I’m suggesting we field consists of Alexis Sanchez playing behind Danny Welbeck, with Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on the wings. Not only does this front three have pace, but it has power, energy, goals and skill.

Chamberlain is starting to find his form and the other three are entering the prime of their careers. If they click, they could form a front four that will spearhead the club for the next few years.

Sanchez and Welbeck are known for their phenomenal work-rate. Pressuring from the front with pace is an extremely dangerous tactic, a tactic Arsenal will now be capable of implementing. It is essential Walcott and Chamberlian also utilise their energy levels by pressing high up the pitch too. As the two wingers, they will need to be able to track back and help the full backs.

Whilst I can see the benefits of playing a more conventional midfielder on the wing for certain games, like Santi Cazorla – it simply makes no sense to play him just because of his style, and ignore his poor form. Against a team like Manchester United, we cannot afford any players to be bystanders, and recently Cazorla has been just that.

If not against Manchester United on Saturday, I hope we get to see this front four in action at some point. The pace would be incredible and it is surely the fastest front four in world football.
