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.

          • 12 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Its either Kun or Sterling really. Best to WC if YOU feel its necessary. Used mine gw2 and didnt askbanyone on here.

          Basically do what you feel is right for your team

          1. OverTinker
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

      1. Four Hit Wonder
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Even Rashford would have scored this.

    15. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Eriksen is the straw that spurs the drink!

      Kane wasn’t even on the screen he was that far back for that attack FFS

    17. Ross From Friends
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Awful by david luiz again
      Awful by Leno
      Awful defence
      Awful ebning incoming

    18. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Shocking keeping from leno. If this was DDG there would be articles on it

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Leno is generally regarded as absolute turd though so no one is suprised

        DDG actually has/had somewhat of a good reputation despite well over a year now of horrific errors

    19. teneighty
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Eriksen back on the menu?

    20. Four Hit Wonder
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Sokratis the jogger. Why be concerned with Cristian Eriksen?
