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.

Southampton XI: McCarthy; Valery, Bednarek, Vestergaard, Targett; Højbjerg, Oriol Romeu; Redmond, Lemina, Armstrong; Austin.

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

    Surely the end of Auba & Laca starting together in the Prem if they can't break minnows like Huddersfield down?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yep. Laca will be gone in January. Interest from France.

      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      It's the Auba show from here on out. Especially if he pulls it out of the fire in the next 30 mins

  15. chaser123

  18. Regin
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Salah gifted a goal by refs. Auba denied a goal by refs, auba was clearly inside.

  20. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    I am shocked at how poorly some of my decision making has been this season

    gw13: did robbo/maddison >> digne/martial...robbo out was a mistake
    gw15: did salah/kun >> sane/kane..could have funded kane by doing martial > fraser but instead downgraded salah and we know how thats turned out
    gw16: should have done martial > siggy but was too scared of no arsenal so did martial/arnie >> benchfodder/laca only to captain laca!

    !!!

  22. BenDavies

    Emery deserves to lose now for subbing Laca.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      They'll win. Auba will score and Emery will be noted for his tactical changes.

  23. A girl has no name
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    I know it's wishful but Laca can be subbed in again, right?

      3 November 1971, Unai Emery was born.

      47 years later he subbed off Lacazette at half time, ruining my GW
