Arsenal vs Tottenham: Gunners boss Unai Emery hints at starting Nicolas Pepe, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette in north London derby

Nicolas Pepe, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette are set to start for Arsenal in the north London derby.

The Gunners will be aiming to continue their good start to the season when they host Tottenham on Sunday.

Aubameyang and Lacazette tormented Spurs in the same fixture last December, with both strikers finding the target in a 4-2 win.

Pepe, a £72million club-record summer signing from Lille, made his full debut in Arsenal’s 3-1 defeat to Liverpool last weekend, alongside Aubameyang.

However, Lacazette was only fit enough for the bench after nursing an ankle knock since pre-season and the trio have yet to play in the same XI.

That could all change this weekend, though.

When asked if he knew about the plea from fans to start all three attackers against Spurs, Emery said: "Yes, but be calm. My decision in each moment is thinking about how we are.

"For example with Lacazette he had a problem with his ankle. This week is the best week of the last three weeks. He’s getting better and feeling better with his ankle, it’s very positive.

"With Pepe, he came here later than the others but he is getting and feeling better in each match.

"Aubameyang is very important for us, he scores two goals in the first two matches, he had two or three good actions in Liverpool.

"The most important thing for me is to have chances and after with players like Aubameyang, Lacazette, Pepe, Mkhi (Henrikh Mkhitaryan), Reiss (Nelson), (Dani) Ceballos and Mesut (Ozil) we can score with different players."
