Why Arsenal don’t need a striker… for now

Arsenal beat Sheffield United 6-0 Monday night, where Mikel Arteta's side managed to have five different players on the score sheet.

Having beaten West Ham 6-0 and Burnley 5-0 in their most recent away games, the Gunners also found themselves five up at half-time. Arsenal do not have a fully fit striker at the moment, but do they actually need one?

They have scored 31 goals in their last seven games, but will it be enough to get them over the line for the Premier League title?

Ayo Akinwolere is joined by The Athletic’s David Ornstein and former Arsenal midfielder Adrian Clarke to discuss.
