Predicted Lineups for ALL 20 Premier League Teams: Gameweek 18
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%)
⚠️ Gabriel, White, Mosquera, Hincapie, Havertz, Martinelli
Unchanged
Going with a classic Arteta being secretive and resting Hincapie only for him to magically start, but we cannot trust his words.
The rest of the lineup seems simple enough.
ASTON VILLA (89%)
⚠️ Pau, Mings, Guessand, Barkley
Unchanged
Same lineup as usual, again the only real change I see happening is Digne in for Maatsen.
BOURNEMOUTH (86%)
⚠️ Milosavljevic, Adams, Doak
Unchanged
Scott could come in for Cook or Brooks, difficult to know given how Iraola tactically keeps things fresh regularly.
BRENTFORD (88%)
🆕 Damsgaard, Henderson ⚠️ Dango, Milambo
I really don’t understand why Damsgaard keeps getting benched.
Henderson should also come back into the side.
BRIGHTON (89%)
🆕 Dunk, Van Hecke, Gomez, Mitoma ⚠️ Van Hecke, Wieffer, Webster, Baleba, March, Welbeck, Tzimas
Lots of maybes here.
It is unknown whether Van Hecke is fully recovered. With both centre backs changed last game and then keeping a clean sheet, we could see any combination of the four.
Wieffer is also expected to be back, but fitness is unclear.
I think Mitoma has built up enough minutes to start, but Gruda could once again play with Gomez on the left.
Welbeck could return, but I don’t think he will given the fixture congestion coming up.
BURNLEY (89%)
🆕 Esteve, Florentino, Broja ⚠️ Esteve, Tuanzebe, Hannibal, Foster
Esteve is a big risk going into this fixture.
Lucas Pires started over Hartman as a tactical change; we’ll need to see long term if that sticks.
The toss up between Flemming and Broja continues.
CHELSEA (86%)
🆕 Enzo ⚠️ Colwill, Lavia
Enzo should return to the XI, it’s just who it will be for.
Most likely it’s for Garnacho, with Palmer on the right and Enzo in the 10, but Gusto or another yellow could easily be benched.
CRYSTAL PALACE (94%)
🆕 Lerma, Devenny ⚠️ Munoz, Richards, Sarr, Kamada, Doucoure, Nketiah
A lot of this is based on performances vs Arsenal midweek.
Devenny and Clyne changed the game when they came on, and both could start against Spurs, especially as Nketiah is still not fully fit.
Could also be Clyne RCB and Devenny RWB.
Clyne had a tough time against Arsenal; I think we see Lerma start in defence here.
EVERTON (91%)
⚠️ Ndiaye, Gana, Dewsbury-Hall, Coleman, Branthwaite
Unchanged
Arguably the most locked XI in the entire league, although Dibling surely gets a start in one of the next four on the right.
FULHAM (88%)
⚠️ Bassey, Iwobi, Sessegnon, Wilson, Chukwueze, Muniz
Unchanged
Coin flip on Wilson’s fitness. Everything else should remain the same.
LEEDS (90%)
⚠️ Longstaff, James, Nmecha
Unchanged
Same as against Palace, although Tanaka could come in for Aaronson.
LIVERPOOL (90%)
🆕 Chiesa, Frimpong, Robertson ⚠️ Gomez, Bradley, Leoni, Gakpo, Salah, Szoboszlai, Isak, Konate
If Chiesa can’t get a start here, then there’s no hope for him.
Konate is supposedly a doubt, but there’s been no concrete proof.
Bradley and Gakpo are close to returning.
It’s likely Frimpong starts, either at RB or RW, but he might not make it to 60.
MAN CITY (82%)
⚠️ Aït-Nouri, Stones, Doku, Rodri, Kovacic, Bobb, Marmoush
Unchanged
Pretty straightforward with Doku still out and Savinho not favoured.
MAN UNITED (83%)
🆕 Martinez, Casemiro ⚠️ B. Fernandes, Mainoo, Maguire, De Ligt, Mbeumo, Amad, Mazraoui
Martinez impressed in midfield and should start, though Ugarte is an option.
Casemiro returns from suspension.
NEWCASTLE (87%)
⚠️ Burn, Botman, Trippier, Livramento, Lascelles, Krafth, Osula, Joelinton
Unchanged
Joelinton is nursing an injury, explaining recent benchings.
Right wing remains a dilemma.
Pope is closing in on a return, this could be the week Ramsdale is displaced.
NOTTINGHAM FOREST (87%)
🆕 Sels ⚠️ Aina, Ndoye, Sangare, Yates, Wood
Pretty straightforward.
This Gameweek will be the true test of who is first-choice goalkeeper.
SPURS (82%)
🆕 Danso, Richarlison, Palhinha ⚠️ Romero, Udogie, Sarr, Xavi, Maddison, Kulusevski, Solanke
With Simons and Romero suspended, Richarlison comes in up top and Danso at centre back.
Gray vs Palhinha feels like a coin toss.
SUNDERLAND (88%)
⚠️ Diarra, Sadiki, Reinildo, Masuaku, Talbi, Traore
Unchanged
Difficult to say what would change given the number of players away at AFCON.
WEST HAM (85%)
🆕 Igor ⚠️ Diouf, Wan-Bissaka, Scarles
With Scarles added to the list of absent fullbacks, surely Igor starts here.
More of the same everywhere else.
WOLVES (80%)
🆕 Johnstone, Mosquera ⚠️ H. Bueno, Agbadou, Toti, R. Gomes, Munetsi, Bellegarde
Surprised to see José Sá start last Gameweek; don’t think it happens again.
Mosquera returns, likely for Hoever with Doherty moving to RWB.
