It is more of an Italian position, then something that teams use in the EPL.
I think it depends on the manager

Chelsea/Spurs/Arsenal use it and all 3 of their managers have said they do not play with 2 strikers unless chasing a game late

all are more continental managers though where 2 strikers is much more rare, on the flip side at City they had a 10 under Mancini but now they have played 2 strikers almost every game
