ARSENAL fans have gone into meltdown on Twitter due to £52million Alexandre Lacazette being left out of the starting line-up against Manchester City.

The French striker is the Gunners' record signing, and was omitted from the XI which started at Anfield — and were hammered 4-0.

Arsene Wenger has strangely made the same decision for the daunting trip to the Etihad.

City have dropped just just two points all season, and the Frenchman has picked a relatively defensive side.

Aaron Ramsey, Francis Coquelin and Granit Xhaka all start.

Alexis Sanchez is the lone frontman instead of Lacazette with Alex Iwobi in behind — alongside Mesut Ozil — in a role the Chilean could have occupied instead.
