Arsene Wenger’s greatest Arsenal XI: Thierry Henry and Cesc Fabregas in but no Robert Pires

Marking 30 years since Arsene Wenger became Arsenal manager on October 1, 1996, talkSPORT reporter Jake Lambourne selected the Frenchman's greatest starting lineup from his 22-year tenure. The chosen lineup features David Seaman in goal, protected by a defensive line of Lauren, Tony Adams, Sol Campbell, and Ashley Cole.

In midfield, Lambourne picked Patrick Vieira alongside Cesc Fabregas in central positions, flanked by Freddie Ljungberg on the right and Alexis Sanchez on the left over Robert Pires. Up front, the attack is led by Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp, celebrating the manager who delivered three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups during his 1,235 games in charge.
