Arsene Wenger: This is how I will solve the Sanchez-Giroud dilemma

By

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says Alexis Sanchez and Olivier Giroud could play alongside each other this season.

The Chilean has been in phenomenal form so far this season and the Frenchman scored twice this afternoon to gift his side three points against Sunderland.

The Gunners are temporary alone at the top of the Premier League.

"When they [the strikers] score goals, you have no headache," Wenger explained.

"We play every three days and it's simple - nobody can play all the games and it's down to me to find the right balance in every single game between attacking and defending, even if we are more of an attacking team.

"Sometimes I can play them together, sometimes separately, but we play so many games that everybody should get the number of games he wants.

"He [Alexis Sanchez] is doing extremely well and I believe that he enjoys it. But we can as well play 4-4-2 with two through the middle as well, because Mesut [Ozil] can play in behind or on the flank. I will see. Let's not create problems that we don't have at the moment.

"Olivier [Giroud] is a guy who is mentally absolutely fantastic.

"He's strong and every time he's questioned, he gives you the right answer on the pitch. I admire that in him. He's a guy who has gone through some different questions.

"Even before the European Championship in France, he was questioned by the crowd and in the end everybody was on his side."
