That would explain it department
Arteta didn’t specify what Aubameyang has done, though Freddie Ljungberg says he thinks it could be that he turned up late for the game.
Harry Kane is fit to start, but Arsenal have left Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on the bench.
Arsenal (4-2-3-1) Leno; Cedric, David Luiz, Gabriel, Tierney; Partey, Xhaka; Saka, Odegaard, Smith Rowe; Lacazette.
Substitutes: Ryan, Bellerin, Holding, Chambers, Ceballos, Elneny, Willian, Aubameyang, Pepe.

Referee Michael Oliver.
Hello. Jose Mourinho was hired by Spurs to win trophies – actual ones, that need a bit of soapy water and Brasso from time to time. But just for today, a metaphorical trophy would do nicely. If Spurs win at the Emirates this afternoon they will complete a league double over Arsenal for the first time since 1992-93, and lift the imaginary North London Bragging Rights Cup. It would also increase their chances of winning another metaphorical trophy by finishing in the top four and qualifying for the Champions League.
Mourinho, who has won both North London derbies since taking over, set the mood with some fruity pre-match comments. Spurs are in good form and he clearly fancies their chances. But the same is true of Arsenal and Mikel Arteta.
In truth, a game like this doesn’t need much of an introduction, and I say that not only as a transparent excuse for the kind of lazy journalism you’ve come to love and expect from the Guardian. Arsenal v Spurs is a fixture that prompts a million memories. It should create a few more this afternoon.
Kick off 4.30pm.
