The north London derby brings Gameweek 4 to a close, with kick-off at the Emirates at 16:30 BST.

Unai Emery has given most Arsenal fans what they want and has united Alexandre Lacazette (£9.4m), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) and new signing Nicolas Pepe (£9.4m) in a starting XI for the first time this season.

With those three players playing in the attacking trident of a 4-3-3, there is no place for Dani Ceballos (£5.7m) – who is on the bench along with Mesut Ozil (£7.3m) and Joe Willock (£5.0m).

Ceballos was the most-bought player from either north London club heading into Gameweek 4.

Lucas Torreira (£4.9m) is back in central midfield, while Sead Kolasinac (£5.4m) replaces the Real Sociedad-bound Nacho Monreal (£5.0m) at left-back.

Mauricio Pochettino makes two changes from the side that were beaten 1-0 at home to Newcastle a week ago.

Christian Eriksen (£8.8m) starts in place of Lucas Moura (£7.5m), while the injured Kyle Walker-Peters (£5.0m) is replaced by Jan Vertonghen (£5.3m).

Pochettino confirmed in his pre-match interview that he will start with a back four despite the inclusion of three centre-halves, so Davinson Sanchez (£5.5m) shifts across to cover at right-back.

Dele Alli (£8.4m) is a substitute.

This fixture featured six goals last season, with Arsenal running out 4-2 winners.

Aubameyang’s biggest FPL score of the season came in that match, with the Gabonese forward racking up 16 points.

Kane scored penalties against the Gunners home and away in 2018/19.

He and Aubameyang are the fourth and fifth-most popular captaincy options of this Gameweek, although the England striker was the most-sold FPL forward of this weekend.

Arsenal XI: Leno, Maitland-Niles, Sokratis, Luiz, Kolasinac, Xhaka, Torreira, Guendouzi, Pepe, Lacazette, Aubameyang.

Spurs XI: Lloris, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose, Winks, Sissoko, Eriksen, Lamela, Son, Kane.

    Which of these to get a Pool defender:

    1. AWB -> Matip on FT
    2. AWB + Digne -> TAA + upto 4.6m def for -4
    3. AWB + Tielemans -> TAA + upto 5m mid for -4

  6. thepeen555

    See what this derby has on offer. Got no players involved

    1. Effe
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Me neither. Hoping Kane keeps quiet.

  7. Effe
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    The line ups look very attacking. Think there'll be plenty of goals in this. Interested here to see how Kane gets on as I sold him for Aguero this week.

    1. Meinhoff
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      You could've just said "I have Aguero".

      1. Effe
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Kane might outscore him yet

  8. Waynoo
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    let's go Auby

  9. Ginkapo FPL
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

  10. lankdog
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    This team worth WCing? I feel like probably no but I just don’t really know what to do with the front line

    Ryan
    TAA Digne Zinch
    Salah Sterling D.Silva amount
    Vardy Jota Adams

    Button Dendoncker Montoya Rico

    Would WC to:

    Pope
    Digne Zinch Ward
    Salah Sterling KDB Mount
    Haller Pukki Barnes

    Button Cantwell Montoya Lundstram

    1. One for All
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      team looks fine, I would just use your transfers

  11. One for All
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Comeon Son!

  12. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Spurs have a terrible record at Arsenal.

    But the way they have lined up it could be a very open game.

  13. FPL_JAAFAR
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Boly looks like a baps machine

  14. seewhyaxe
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Arsenal 1-0 Spurs
    with goal from Ozil from the bench.

  15. Magic Hamster
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    how does this look on WC?

    Ryan/ Pope
    Digne TAA Walker Soyuncu Lundstrum
    De Bruyne Mane Pepe Cantwell Dendoncker
    Aguero Barnes Greenwood

    Depends on Pepe's performance today though...he could become Martial - depending on injury status

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Doesn’t look a lot like a WC

  16. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
