Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Mario Lemina’s international teammate has been an assassin for Arsenal this season. His combination of height and pace allows him to score goals in a variety of ways and if Saints are not careful on Sunday, Aubameyang will pull out his signature front flip in front of the home fans.

The Gabon striker, has an impressive 15 goals in league play on the season and has feasted on teams who cannot keep up with his shifty movements in the final third. If Vestergaard is on the pitch on Sunday, Auba will look to take advantage of the Danes lack of pace and get in behind.
