Predicted lineups for ALL 20 Premier League teams: Gameweek 19
It’s midweek madness, let’s predict it! 👨💻
Averaging 87% accuracy this season ✅
🟢🟡🟠🔴 = Likelihood of a start
(%) = Accuracy on previous predictions
🆕 = New players in the lineup
⚠️ = Concerns
ARSENAL (90%)
🆕 Gabriel, Timber
⚠️ Timber, Calafiori, White, Mosquera, Havertz
Pretty sure Gabriel starts this one, but the fullbacks are difficult as we don’t know the extent of the injuries.
I think Timber was fully rested to start this week, so I’m more confident on him. However, I’ve gone for Hincapié at left back with Calafiori not starting — if Calafiori is fit, I think he’ll start.
With Martinelli and Madueke available, it’s not certain Trossard will start.
ASTON VILLA (88%)
🆕 Watkins, Bogarde, Onana
⚠️ Cash, Pau, Mings, Kamara, Guessand, Barkley, Elliott
With Cash suspended, it’s typically been Bogarde filling in at right back.
With Kamara suspended, Onana is sure to start. The only question is whether Tielemans plays deeper, making it a toss-up between Buendía or someone else.
BOURNEMOUTH (85%)
🆕 Evanilson, Kluivert, Brooks
⚠️ Milosavljević, Scott, Adams, Doak
Changing things up after the battering by Brentford.
The three subbed on early in that fixture start this one.
BRENTFORD (87%)
🆕 Damsgaard
⚠️ Van den Berg, Dango, Milambo
I’m really not understanding why Damsgaard has been benched three times in a row, and fans haven’t provided any explanations either.
Surely it can’t be four times in a row — or maybe we have another Salah situation on our hands…
Ajer to retain his spot.
BRIGHTON (88%)
🆕 Welbeck, Minteh, Wieffer
⚠️ Webster, Baleba, March, Tzimas
Mitoma has recovered from illness — chance he starts over De Cuyper.
Welbeck probably needed in this fixture; I’d expect him to start.
Minteh is absolutely fine for minutes after a rest and looked great when he came on vs Arsenal.
BURNLEY (86%)
🆕 Florentino, Anthony, Flemming
⚠️ Esteve, Tuanzebe, Worrall, Roberts, Cullen, Hannibal, Foster
Florentino should come in for Cullen, who went off injured last match.
Esteve is still a doubt. Humphreys should start again, but Esteve could make the team.
Usual dilemma with the striker position.
CHELSEA (86%)
🆕 Estêvão, Fofana, Gusto
⚠️ Cucurella, Hato, Colwill, Lavia
With Cucurella a major doubt, the likeliest scenario is Gusto moving over to left back.
Estêvão looks set to start after not starting last Gameweek, though the left-wing spot remains a real dilemma.
Fofana returns to the side.
CRYSTAL PALACE (94%)
🆕 Nketiah
⚠️ Muñoz, Richards, Sarr, Kamada, Doucouré
Nketiah returns to the side.
The biggest uncertainty is RWB. Devenny is thought to be the more likely option after Clyne was hooked early against Spurs.
EVERTON (91%)
🆕 Barry, Grealish
⚠️ Coleman, Branthwaite, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye, Grealish, Gana
Grealish is still a doubt, but should start if there’s any chance.
Barry returns after Beto started the last.
Right wing remains a toss-up between McNeil and Dibling.
FULHAM (88%)
⚠️ Bassey, Iwobi, Sessegnon, Chukwueze, Muniz
Unchanged.
The only question mark is whether King starts over Smith Rowe — otherwise the other 10 feel locked in.
LEEDS (90%)
🆕 Tanaka
⚠️ Rodon, Longstaff, James
Rodon being injured is a huge loss for Leeds, so let’s see what happened when he went off.
They experimented briefly with a back four, then Ampadu moved back into the back three with Tanaka as the pivot.
I believe the latter is how Leeds will line up, given how well the back three worked against Liverpool last time.
LIVERPOOL (90%)
🆕 Szoboszlai, Bradley
⚠️ Gomez, Salah, Isak
The lineup is dictated by Bradley and Mac Allister.
Bradley is likely to get the nod at fullback. With Szoboszlai playing well on the right, is Frimpong dropped?
Fans want Mac Allister dropped, which would allow Frimpong to start and Szoboszlai to drift central.
Gakpo could start, but the system is working well without him.
MANCHESTER CITY (82%)
⚠️ Aït-Nouri, Doku, Bobb, Marmoush, Kovačić
Unchanged.
A near-nailed Man City team is unsettling, but Pep didn’t rotate last midweek and lacks the personnel to do so now.
MANCHESTER UNITED (83%)
🆕 Zirkzee
⚠️ De Ligt, Maguire, Mazraoui, Bruno Fernandes, Mbeumo, Amad, Mount, Mainoo
Amorim finally changed formation and it worked reasonably well.
With Mount injured, it’s either Zirkzee or J. Fletcher in the 10.
Fletcher is a more natural fit, though inexperienced at this level.
Yoro could return as part of the back two.
NEWCASTLE (87%)
🆕 Barnes, Willock, Joelinton, Wissa
⚠️ Burn, Livramento, Botman, Trippier, Lascelles, Krafth, Elanga, Osula
I’ve predicted rotation here:
- Newcastle have the players
- It’s midweek
- It’s against Burnley
- Howe has rotated before
Wissa over Woltemade is a straight swap.
Barnes should start, either side.
Tonali could start deeper.
The back four is nailed — no alternatives available.
Howe indicated Pope isn’t ready yet, though this would be a good fixture for his return.
NOTTINGHAM FOREST (87%)
🆕 Douglas Luiz
⚠️ Aina, Boly, Sangaré, Ndoye, Yates, Wood
Douglas Luiz returns over Domínguez.
John has been starting over Sels, who’s been managing a broken finger. Sels could return at any time.
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR (82%)
🆕 Odobert, Palhinha, Romero
⚠️ Udogie, Sarr, Xavi, Bergvall, Maddison, Kulusevski, Bissouma, Solanke
If Bergvall is unavailable, Gray should start higher up, as he did previously.
That opens space for Palhinha.
Odobert over Kolo Muani on the left.
Romero returning isn’t guaranteed — Danso impressed last match.
SUNDERLAND (88%)
⚠️ Ballard, Reinildo, Masuaku, Talbi, Traoré, Sadiki, Diarra
Unchanged.
Likely formation change to a 5-4-1, prioritising defence.
Isidor over Brobbey is the most likely switch.
WEST HAM UNITED (85%)
🆕 Wilson
⚠️ Diouf, Wan-Bissaka, Igor
Wilson to start, pushing Bowen to the right.
Fans are split between benching Paquetá or Summerville — I’ve gone with the latter.
Todibo is nailed; Mavropanos could return for Kilman.
WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS (80%)
🆕 Strand Larsen, Wolfe, Tchatchoua
⚠️ S. Bueno, Agbadou, Toti, R. Gomes, André, Munetsi, Bellegarde
The most reliable insight comes from a detailed breakdown that outlines the likely setup.
The biggest question is who partners Tolu and Mané — I’ve gone with Strand Larsen, though there are alternatives.
