Fantasy Football Tips

Captain Options

Gabriel Jesus impressed in the last game against Norwich on the right-wing. He could reclaim that role or start as the no.9.

Raheem Sterling has a good goal-scoring record against Arsenal. Manchester City now has playmakers all over the field, and Sterling will be on the receiving end of numerous opportunities.

Differential Pick

Our differential pick for this game is Pierre Emerick Aubameyang. He usually rises to the occasion in big games, and Arsenal really needs points from this game. He scored a hat-trick in the midweek EFL clash.
