#1 Pierre Emerick Aubameyang's goals galore

Another one to his tally on Sunday?
Another one to his tally on Sunday?

Aubameyang is a proven goalscorer and he is lighting the Premier League up. He is tied with Sergio Aguero for most number of goals with 8. He is the player with the most efficient goals per minute ratio. He edges Aguero out with 118 minutes per goal, the Manchester City man needing 121 minutes per goal.

Primarily a goal-scorer, Aubameyang has a good amount of pace to reach the through balls first and also hit hard on the counter. He is capable of cutting inside and shooting from the edge of the box and also fairly from long range. Importantly, he hardly fluffs a finish which Kane is prone to, which makes Aubameyang a better poacher.

Arsenal's star striker would be hoping to score in the derby and he is certainly no stranger to derbies and scoring in them. He has scored against rivals Schalke while playing for Dortmund. He will surely be on the lookout for goals and has to beat the Spurs defense on the counter, which he could.

This could be the game when Aubameyang gets his recognition.
