Predicted Lineups for ALL 20 Premier League Teams: Gameweek 16

Doing the research so you don’t have to! 👨‍💻
Averaging 87% accuracy this season ✅

🟢🟡🟠🔴 = Likelihood of a start
(%) = Accuracy on previous predictions
🆕 = New players in the lineup
⚠️ = Concerns

ARSENAL (90%)

🆕 Gyökeres, Madueke, Lewis-Skelly
⚠️ Gabriel, Rice, Saliba, Timber, Trossard, Calafiori, Havertz, Mosquera

I’ve gone with Timber to start, but this could quite easily be Nørgaard.
Gyökeres up top could be a risky one, and Zubimendi is the one in midfield most in need of a break.
Tons of maybes for the Gunners!

ASTON VILLA (89%)

🆕 Buendia
⚠️ Mings, Pau Torres, Martínez

Pau Torres and Martínez are both doubts, but I think they’ll both be fine.
Buendia in attack, Tielemans deeper, Onana benched is my thinking.

BOURNEMOUTH (85%)

🆕 Adams
⚠️ Christie, Milošević, Doak, Senesi

Bournemouth play on Monday, and as Iraola was already hopeful Senesi would be fine, I have little concern.
Jiménez started as the right winger last weekend—interested to see if that continues.

BRENTFORD (90%)

🆕 Lewis-Potter
⚠️ Schade, Nelson, Milambo

With Schade suspended, the sensible option is to start Lewis-Potter as the left winger.
However, there’s a good chance Brentford play a back 5, and it could be Hickey or Henry as LWB instead.

BRIGHTON (88%)

🆕 Hinshelwood
⚠️ Webster, March, Tzimas

Welbeck is a bit of a minutes risk.
De Cuyper could still start again if Gómez plays central.

BURNLEY (89%)

🆕 Flemming, Worrall, Bruun Larsen
⚠️ Lucas Pires, Walker, Tuanzebe, Roberts, Mejbri

With Walker suspended, the most logical move is a back 5 with Bruun Larsen as right wingback (though Sonne is an option).
Likely means a front 2 out of Flemming, Foster, and Broja.
Could also be a 5-2-3 with Ugochukwu benched.

CHELSEA (85%)

🆕 Estevão, João Pedro
⚠️ Colwill, Lavia, Caicedo, Delap

With Neto and Gittens starting midweek, it makes sense for Garnacho and Estevão to start at the weekend.
Fofana should be available.
Marc Guiu could get a start but unlikely.

CRYSTAL PALACE (94%)

🆕 Hughes
⚠️ Muñoz, Sarr, Mateta, Cankov, Doucouré

Glasner finally rotated!
Mateta is a total guess—looks like he’s been run into the ground.
Could be Nketiah up top or on the right with Kamada deeper.

EVERTON (91%)

🆕 Gana
⚠️ Branthwaite, Coleman, Röhl

Gana returns after his brawl with Keane.
Everton look like a very consistent side right now.

FULHAM (87%)

⚠️ Sessegnon, Robinson, Muniz

Unchanged.
Robinson is near a return, but it should be Castagne at LB again.
King vs Smith Rowe in the 10 is the closest call.

LEEDS (90%)

🆕 Gnonto, Tanaka
⚠️ Longstaff, James, Nmecha

I think Leeds revert to a back 4, although the back 5 has worked well.
The right-wing spot is up for grabs—Gnonto likely gets a shot this weekend.

LIVERPOOL (88%)

🆕 Mac Allister, Gómez
⚠️ Bradley, Frimpong, Gakpo, Isak

Salah benched for a 4th time? Hard to tell.
Injuries make everything else fairly straightforward.

MAN CITY (84%)

🆕 Reijnders
⚠️ Rodri, Kovačić, Stones

A pretty consistent Man City side for once.
1 of Cherki, Bernardo, and Reijnders keeps being benched.

MAN UNITED (84%)

⚠️ De Ligt, Maguire, Šeško

Unchanged.
AFCON players are slight doubts for availability.
Can’t see much changing if they’re all fit.

NEWCASTLE (87%)

🆕 Murphy, Miley, Tonali, Hall
⚠️ Pope, Botman, Krafth, Trippier, Joelinton, Osula

Lots return after rests.
Miley starting made easier due to the Joelinton doubt.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST (87%)

🆕 Domínguez, Murillo
⚠️ Sels, Aina, Wood, Yates, Awoniyi

Douglas Luiz is back—uncertain if he can start twice in a week.
Winger spots tough to call.

SPURS (81%)

⚠️ Udogie, Drăgușin, Bissouma, Kulusevski, Maddison, Solanke

Unchanged.
Midfield congested with options, but this feels like Spurs’ best XI available.

SUNDERLAND (88%)

🆕 Talbi, Reinildo
⚠️ O’Nien, Diarra

Could see a big change-up given fixture importance, but nothing concrete points to it.

WEST HAM (88%)

🆕 Wilson, Potts
⚠️ Fabiański

A surprise change last GW, but predicting West Ham revert to what fans consider their strongest XI.

WOLVES (79%)

🆕 Fer López, João Gomes
⚠️ Bellegarde, R. Gomes, Munetsi

With João Gomes returning, it’s difficult to say who drops out.
Formation likely stays the same with Krejci dropping to CB.
Could be a 5-3-2 with no attacking mids.
Fer López should finally get a start.
