Aubameyang continues to defy Christmas rotation threat

1,820 Comments

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.5m) continues to defy the Christmas rotation as he starts his tenth Premier League match in a row against Brighton.

The Arsenal forward even played the full 90 minutes as the Gunners lost to Tottenham in the recent EFL Cup quarter-final.

Unai Emery has decided to go with the big guns up top again as Alexandre Lacazette (£9.5m) also earns a start.

Meanwhile, Lucas Torreira (£5.2m) returns to central midfield after earning a rest against Burnley, while Laurent Koscielny (£5.4m) gets back into the side alongside Sokratis Papastathopoulos (£5.1m).

Mathew Ryan (£4.5m) plays in goal with his Asian Cup departure with Australia looming large, while Shane Duffy (£4.6m) returns from a three-game ban to replace the suspended Lewis Dunk (£4.5m).

Jurgen Locadia (£5.3m) gets another start on the wing at Anthony Knockaert‘s (£5.4m) expense, with Glenn Murray (£6.5m) coming back in, as expected.

Brighton XI: Ryan, Montoya, Duffy, Balogun, Bernardo, March, Stephens, Propper, Locadia, Gross, Murray.

Arsenal XI: Leno, Kolasinac, Sokratis, Koscielny, Lichsteiner, Guendouzi, Xhaka, Torreira, Ozil, Lacazette, Aubameyang.

          Thanks for the answer. You may also know someone who is collecting autographs from the Southampton players? My girlfriend gave me an autograph book from the club store for Christmas. She thought the autographs were already in there. She may not be the smartest but has a good heart. Now I am looking for someone who collects for me. It will be difficult for me because I live in Germany. Of course I will pay for it.

        I'll probably go with Salah. Form, class player, Arsenal leak goals and may leave lots of space as opposed to smaller teams who park the bus

          I had the same thought earlier in the season about Arsenal and Salah - captained him vs Arsenal and he blanked. Not sure I'd do the same again if I had him.

        I know it's an element of chasing points, but for 2FT

        Sterlin -> Pogba
        Daniels -> Digne

        Yes or no?

        Figure Sterling will be benched sooner or later, and in-form players with great fixtures it good bringing in.
