Alexandre Lacazette and Hector Bellerin are edging closer to first-team returns, and some supporters think the duo will help Nicolas Pepe make a serious impact at the Emirates.
Bellerin is yet to turn out in the Premier League this season following a lengthy injury, while Frenchman Lacazette has missed the last seven fixtures with an ankle problem.
Both the right-back and the forward could make the matchday squad against Sheffield United, and Pepe also looks set to feature following a productive stint with Ivory Coast during the international break.
Arsenal fan @PatrickTimmons1 shared his excitement over the pair’s return, and believes the dynamic duo back in the side will only help Pepe find his feet in the Premier League.

Bellerin will more than likely establish himself as Unai Emery’s first-choice right-back over the coming weeks, and everyone knows how important Lacazette is to the Gunners.
The return of the duo will only bolster Pepe’s chances of improving his form in north London and could also take some pressure off the 24-year-old’s expensive shoulders.
Pepe has scored once and provided two assists in his 10 Arsenal appearances to date, but with Bellerin bombing down the right and Lacazette in attack, those numbers could significantly increase.
