Owners of popular Double Gameweek 30+ asset Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.1m) will be pleased with Arsenal’s latest line-up.

Despite playing 90 minutes in the 3-0 defeat at Manchester City on Wednesday night, the Gunners’ number 14 has been handed another start on Saturday afternoon.

Outside of Aubameyang, Mikel Arteta has certainly shuffled the pack for the trip to Brighton, including Alexandre Lacazette (£9.4m) up-front and dropping Eddie Nketiah (£4.4m) to the bench.

It is possible that the Frenchman could be paired with Aubameyang in a front-two, although the personnel chosen by Arteta could also line-up in a 4-2-3-1.

Nicolas Pépé (£9.3m) returns to the side to operate on the right-hand side of midfield, while Bukayo Saka (£4.7m), making a second start in the space of a week, could either play on the left of midfield or as the number 10.

Rob Holding (£4.4m) comes in for the injured Pablo Mari (£4.8m) and suspended David Luiz (£5.7m), while Sead Kolasinac (£5.2m) replaces the benched Kieran Tierney (£5.3m).

Meanwhile, Mesut Özil (£7.3m) still cannot get into the starting line-up, although was, at least, included on the bench this time.

Brighton manager Graham Potter has gone with a 4-3-3 shape with a largely unsurprising selection.

Neal Maupay (£5.7m) spearheads the attacking trio, flanked by Leandro Trossard (£5.8m) and Pascal Groß (£6.2m).

Budget option Aaron Mooy (£4.8m) may be one to watch given his pre-lockdown form. He is in the central midfield trio with Davy Pröpper (£4.8m) and Yves Bissouma (£5.0m).

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Ryan; Burn, Webster, Dunk, Schelotto; Pröpper, Bissouma, Mooy; Trossard, Maupay, Groß.

Arsenal XI: Leno; Kolasinac, Holding, Mustafi, Bellerín; Saka, Ceballos, Guendouzi, Pépé; Aubameyang, Lacazette.

    Arteta. Clueless.

    Still playing Luiz, Lacazette and Xhaka when available. Playing Auba at LW. Only thing he has got right so far is to kick out Ozil.

    Arteta was so not what Arsenal needed. Lightweight.

      I had Pepe, auba and d Luiz!
      But d Luiz red card enabled my triple captain kdb to score the penalty. So I should thank him.
      Mixed feelings.

      I love the fact that the sound engineers dub it over with crowd booing sounds...

  12. KGFC

    And that completes a league double over Arsenal for this first time!!!

    Way too late to get out the handbags.

  16. Bubz

    Nice. Can watch Arsenal fan tv later

  17. el polako

    I wonder how many Arsenal would like to see Arsene back ?

    1. Goat
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      It’s what they deserve the way they treated arsene

    2. Zimo
      • 7 Years

      At least he kept them in the champions league XD

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 24 days ago

        But he didn't at the end of his tenure. That is the issue. They were dropping like a stone. Emery didn't stop the rot.

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      That would be a backwards step.

      Wenger failed to keep up to date with the times and became irrelevant. His 21 year tenure can be summarised as 7 years ahead of the pack, 7 years with the pack, 7 years behind the pack.

      That last 7 years did significant damage to the culture and standards at the club.

    Arsenal getting angry now. Why didn't they get angry during the game? Take it out on the opposition not after the match has finished.

    Arsenal were close to an upset there. Brighton have to winning these kinds of games. Got there in the end.

    1. Reg83
      • 6 Years

      Yup. Maupay saved Brighton.. nice fightback by Brighton. Would have been an embarrassing loss for Brighton almost

  20. FPL_Devil

    As a united fan YES

    1. KGFC
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      As a fellow Utd fan, it's pity time.. From the Wenger vs SAF to really this!

  21. Reg83

    Guendozi to get 3 match ban. Useless player

    Disappointing from Nketiah but he is 4.4.

    Justice for Leno.

    Dodged the Auba train. Nice.

  23. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    At least SAKA and Leno came in with 13 pts

  24. KGFC

      Nah, a couple new signings and more than a couple sold and give Arteta a season at least.

  25. Deulofail

    Where is Arsenal's best player, Martinelli?

    1. Collie01

      • 8 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Good question actually. Surprised he didn't feature

  26. EL tridente
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Which combo?
    A) Robbo and Saka
    B) Maguire and Barnes

  27. muc1999

    Did Brighton use subs 4 times?

    1. tambourineman
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Half-time subs don't count towards the maximum of 3 sub stoppages

      1. muc1999
        • 11 Years

    Pointless ever owning Aubameyang. Expensive. Can’t captain. Rarely turns up (al be it because he’s in a crap team). Glad I WC’d.
