Aubameyang and Lacazette start together against Fulham

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.4m) and Alexandre Lacazette (£9.4m) get the nod to line up front together as Arsenal take on Fulham at the Emirates Stadium this afternoon.

That means the 12th start in a row for the Gabon international, who has played virtually every minute of the Gunners’ Christmas fixtures, minus the last 20 at Anfield in Gameweek 20.

It looks as if Aubameyang will be on the left of a front three, with Lacazette operating centrally and Alex Iwobi (£5.4m) on the opposite flank.

Lucas Torreira (£5.1m) finds himself on the bench again with Matteo Guendouzi (£4.5m) and Granit Xhaka (£5.3m) preferred in central midfield.

Sead Kolasinac (£4.9m) and Ainsley Maitland-Niles (£4.4m) are the wing-backs while Shkodran Mustafi (£5.4m) comes through his injury doubts to feature in a back-three alongside Laurent Koscielny (£5.4m) and Sokratis Papastathopoulos (£5.1m).

Fulham are without Calum Chambers (£4.2m), who is ineligible to face his parent club Arsenal, as Claudio Ranieri appears to be going with a five-man defence.

Joe Bryan (£4.8m) and Cyrus Christie (£4.2m) appear to be operating in the wide areas, either side of Tim Ream (£4.2m), Maxime Le Marchand (£4.2m) and Denis Odoi (£4.4m).

Ryan Sessegnon (£6.0m) returns to the side as Aboubakar Kamara (£4.4m) suffers for his penalty antics against Huddersfield by dropping to the bench.

Arsenal XI (3-4-3): Leno; Sokratis, Mustafi, Koscielny; Kolasinac, Guendouzi, Xhaka, Maitland-Niles; Aubameyang, Lacazette; Iwobi.

Fulham XI (5-2-3): Rico; Bryan, Ream, Le Marchand, Odoi, Christie; Cissé, Cairney; Sessegnon, Mitrovic, Schürrle.
