The first of two Sunday fixtures gets underway at 2.15pm as Arsenal welcome Southampton to the Emirates Stadium.

After Harry Kane and Romelu Lukaku failed to pick up the points at Stoke yesterday, all eyes turn to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The fourth top captain pick for the Gameweek with 7.9% backing, he was handed the armband by 56 of the top 100 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers.

As expected, however, Arsene Wenger has rotated heavily ahead of Thursday’s Europa League return to CSKA Moscow.

Snapped up by 70,000+ managers for Gameweek 33, Aaron Ramsey is rested for the third time in the last four league fixtures.

Laurent Koscielny also misses out altogether, while the likes of Mesut Ozil, Alexandre Lacazette and Nacho Monreal are named among the substitutes.

For the Saints, Charlie Austin drops to the bench as Mark Hughes hands Shane Long the lone striker role.

The visitors look to be lining up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, affording us a final chance to scout for options ahead of their Double Gameweek 34 against Chelsea and Leicester.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

        I've owned him for three periods this season. Has never scored more than 2 points a week for me and then as soon as I sell he gets on a run of points. Easily my biggest troll this season
