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.

    Snodgrass becoming hard to ignore?

    1. Gimli son of Gloin
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      West Ham look really poor today. Interested to see this second half with Carroll on the field.

  21. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    We need an emergency scoutcast

    Can someone call Joe & the guys there?

  22. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    None with the Hammers assist.

  23. Deulofail
    • 10 Years

    Good choice for Huddersfield to play their striker with the second worst conversion rate of any forward in the Premier League. Their other main striker has the worst in the game.

  24. drughi

    7 years, 4 months ago

    AWB and Fabianski CS gone, expected

  25. Gimli son of Gloin
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Snodgrass with a brilliant goal from outside the box. Immediate effect with Andy Carroll on the pitch.

  26. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    AWB CS gone

  27. diesel001

    Laca will be leaving Arsenal in January. Reduced minutes and playing second fiddle to Auba.

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Do you think he'll go back to Charlton?
