Aubameyang and Lacazette both start for Arsenal

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.4m) and Alexandre Lacazette (£9.6m) were both named on the Arsenal team sheet for Gameweek 16.

Unai Emery had rested the Frenchman in both of the Gunners’ previous two Premier League matches but he is back in the line-up for the first time since Gameweek 12.

Arsenal look to be lining up with a back-three and wing-backs with Stephan Lichtsteiner (£4.5m) coming in for the injured Rob Holding (£4.4m).

Glenn Murray (£6.7m) has been left among the substitutes for the fourth time in Brighton’s last six away matches. In his place is Florin Andone (£5.0m) making his second start in three. Leon Balogun (£4.2m) replaces the suspended Shane Duffy (£4.7m) at centre-back.

Romelu Lukaku (£10.7m) returns to the Manchester United starting line-up while Anthony Martial (£7.5m) was not considerd fit enough to face Fulham, and neither was Eric Bailly (£5.0m).

As expected, Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez (£6.3m) leads the West Ham line in the absence of Marko Arnautovic but Lucas Perez (£6.2m) also gets a start. It will be interesting to see if he operates out wide or as a second centre-forward.

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace named an unchanged side from the line-up that lost 3-1 at Brighton midweek.

    I love Lacazette, but that is inexcusable at a professional level

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Blasphemy!

    2. TAT
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Lacazette usually scores those chances.

  10. Top Lad Dakes.

        42.4k and captained today.
        I had thought that this was probably his last week with a plan to change to Kane, taking a -4 to do so.
        Now I think it depends a bit on how Auba does...

    6. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      Arsenal don't really score 4+ goals against these lower teams anymore. More like a 1-0 / 2-0 and take the three points.

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Now you tell me.

    7. Ghost Gooner

      Emery to sub Auba at HT?

      1. R.C

        1. Ghost Gooner
          • 10 Years

          I'd love a 59th min sub

      Going Auba over Kane has cost me two captain hauls

      TAA and Wilson really messed me up today.

    15. Random Name
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Difference between Auba and an elite player like Ronaldo is ruthlessness - 999/1000 times that tap has to go in. Auba has missed too many this season

      1. Olivier Bernards watch

      2. Cok3y5murf

        There are 999 differences between Auba and Ronaldo

      Arsenal don’t start until the second half. Chill out people.
