Gameweek 9 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) starts with a bang this lunchtime as the north London derby gets Saturday’s top-flight action underway.

Kick-off at the Emirates is at 12:30 BST.

There are no real shocks when it comes to the teamsheets, despite the vague injury updates and kidology in the two managers’ pre-match press conferences.

Mikel Arteta makes two changes from the side that won 3-0 at Brentford a fortnight ago, with Martin Odegaard and Oleksandr Zinchenko returning to fitness.

Fábio Vieira and Kieran Tierney drop to the bench as a result.

Thomas Partey is also fit after recovering from a knee issue picked up over the international break.

As for the visitors, Antonio Conte makes three changes to the Tottenham Hotspur team that thrashed Leicester City in Gameweek 8.

Gameweek 8 hat-trick hero Son Heung-min comes back into the starting XI as expected to join Richarlison and Harry Kane in a three-man attack, while Emerson Royal and Cristian Romero also return to the line-up.

Davinson Sánchez and Ryan Sessegnon drop to the bench as Dejan Kulusevski misses out altogether with a hamstring injury.

Emerson’s recall will see Ivan Perisic switch back over to his usual left-wing-back role.

GAMEWEEK 9 LINE-UPS

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Partey, Xhaka, Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli, Jesus

Subs: Turner, Tierney, Nketiah, Holding, Tomiyasu, Vieira, Lokonga, Nelson, Marquinhos

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Royal, Romero, Dier, Lenglet, Perisic, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Richarlison, Son, Kane

Subs: Forster, Doherty, Skipp, Sánchez, Gil, Sessegnon, Spence, Sarr, Bissouma

    So who all sold Jesus this week??

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I don’t want to talk about it.

      1. Thanos
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        🙂

    2. MADCHESTER UTD
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Me but I hope Mitro can at least match him. Tough fixtures combined with GW12 blank so I don’t think it was a bad move.

      1. Thanos
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Logically the right move to do but Spurs haven't been solid ATB so there was always a chance he got something in this game.

        1. MADCHESTER UTD
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah it’s not a shock Jesus has scored. Still have him in loads of teams in various FF formats so still happy. I’ll get him back in GW13

    3. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Toney hatty so its ok

    4. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Brought Toney in for Jesus a couple of game weeks ago, Toney wont score again.

  17. SirWenger
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    They said 4 YC and bad fixtures he didn't listen

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      YC incoming

  18. Andy_Social
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Playground defending!

  19. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Whoopsie, sold Jesus and as part of a -4

  20. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Jesus has deserved that, been superb today

  21. Fabreghastly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Romero assist

  22. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Not having a wildcard available is working in my favour 😆

  23. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Thats a pen

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Granted not clear and obvious

      1. DycheDycheBaby
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah close call. Maybe they thought Jesus went down too easily but there was contact.

  24. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Isn't that a penalty for Arsenal? Dier certainly tripped him

  25. Totalfootball
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Will that be a saka assist?

  26. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Martinelli had much involvement?

  27. Yankee Toffee
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Romero at fault, very poor defending

  28. Totalfootball
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    And why is that not a peno?

    1. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Passed the ball already

  29. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years

  30. Paqueta Rice
