Aubameyang and Lacazette both start for Arsenal

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.4m) and Alexandre Lacazette (£9.6m) were both named on the Arsenal team sheet for Gameweek 16.

Unai Emery had rested the Frenchman in both of the Gunners’ previous two Premier League matches but he is back in the line-up for the first time since Gameweek 12.

Arsenal look to be lining up with a back-three and wing-backs with Stephan Lichtsteiner (£4.5m) coming in for the injured Rob Holding (£4.4m).

Glenn Murray (£6.7m) has been left among the substitutes for the fourth time in Brighton’s last six away matches. In his place is Florin Andone (£5.0m) making his second start in three. Leon Balogun (£4.2m) replaces the suspended Shane Duffy (£4.7m) at centre-back.

Romelu Lukaku (£10.7m) returns to the Manchester United starting line-up while Anthony Martial (£7.5m) was not considerd fit enough to face Fulham, and neither was Eric Bailly (£5.0m).

As expected, Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez (£6.3m) leads the West Ham line in the absence of Marko Arnautovic but Lucas Perez (£6.2m) also gets a start. It will be interesting to see if he operates out wide or as a second centre-forward.

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace named an unchanged side from the line-up that lost 3-1 at Brighton midweek.

  10. Revival

    Huddersfield player passed to Laca, that should have being allowed to stand

  11. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Did Laca score or not?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      No. 0-0 still

    2. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah we've been bullschitted. Wrongly disallowed

    3. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Disallowed

      1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 7 Years

        Very harsh imo

  12. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Dumb ref thinks this is 1990. The rule was changed ages ago, never offside. When will VAR come in? Ridiculous.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Next season. Going to get all the penalty takers and all the people who don't get caught offside a lot.

  13. IRBOX ⚽

  17. Dannyb
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    No wonder VAR will soon be in place. The officials really aren't up to any sort of good standard.

  18. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Hope Fulham get relegated. Spend their money on useless players, get whipped, blame the manager who did a great job.

  20. Bolivian Seaman
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Sokratis must have the worst points per minute. 800 minutes - 8 points!

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Easy 6+ today.

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Mawson soon to be 700 minutes - 6 points

  21. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Laca was flagged offside before the defender touched the ball.

    1. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He wasn’t

      1. Konig Luther
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        he should then... bad ref

      2. Sandy Ravage
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        if he wasn't flagged offside, then the goal should have stood

        1. Zladan
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          It was called after the touch from the defender was made.

  22. SPorting
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    That's got to hurt

  23. Ghost Gooner
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

  24. DAZZ
    • 9 Years

    1. Park the bus
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      ouch espec with Holding injured too. Monreal to come into back 3, could be good news for Kola owners long term

  29. Random Name
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    These refs are a joke. An absolute joke
