Predicted lineups for ALL 20 Premier League teams: Gameweek 1

It’s here!! The Premier League season is upon us, and I’m here to help! ✅

Averaged 86% accuracy over the entirety of last season 🎯

🟢🟡🟠🔴 = Likelihood of a start

(%) = Last seasons accuracy

⚠️ = Concerns


ARSENAL: (86%)

⚠️
Jesus, Trossard

A fairly predictable side for the Gunners, with a few question marks.

Gyökeres should start this one, and with Trossard a doubt, Martinelli will be on the left.

I’ve leaned Timber at RB and Lewis-Skelly at LB, but neither are guarantees.

ASTON VILLA: (85%)

⚠️
Barkley, Garcia, Rogers

Rogers has been pictured back in training, so should be good to go.

This will be a physical battle, so expect to see McGinn start for sure, but we could see Onana instead of Buendia, then Tielemans #10.

Maatsen just ahead of Digne.

BOURNEMOUTH: (87%)

⚠️
Sinisterra, Christie, Cook, Kluivert, Ünal, O. Dango

The number of midfield doubts make the options for Bournemouth very limited.

Semenyo out on the left with Brooks on the right.

New signing Diakite comes straight in against the champions.

BRENTFORD: (91%)

⚠️
Janelt, Maghoma, Wissa, Kelleher, Schade

Schade and Kelleher both doubts, I believe the former misses out, but the latter starts.

I’ve started Jensen due to the lack of minutes from Henderson, but wouldn’t be shocked if he starts.

Wissa is out the door.
