Predicted lineups for ALL 20 Premier League teams: Gameweek 21

Another deadline on the horizon! 👨‍💻

Averaging 87% accuracy this season ✅

🟢🟡🟠🔴 = Likelihood of a start (%) = Accuracy on previous predictions

🆕 = New players in the lineup ⚠️ = Concerns


ARSENAL (89%)

🆕 Saka, Trossard ⚠️ Calafiori, Mosquera

Saka and Trossard return to make up a strongest side available.


ASTON VILLA (89%)

⚠️ Barkley, Guessand, Onana, Mings, Torres

Unchanged.

Villa in flying form, don’t foresee any changes.


BOURNEMOUTH (85%)

⚠️ Adams, Christie, Doak, Milosavljevic

Unchanged.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Kroupi start this one.


BRENTFORD (87%)

🆕 Lewis-Potter, Henderson, Henry, Van den Berg ⚠️ Milambo, Dango

A lot of players return to the side.

Would be surprised to see Ajer start a 4th game in 12 days, so I believe Van den Berg returns for this one.


BRIGHTON (88%)

🆕 Milner, Welbeck ⚠️ Baleba, Tzimas, Webster, Wieffer, March, Minteh

Just got a feeling Milner starts this one, not sure why.

Bit of a minefield up front — could be about 20 different combinations.


BURNLEY (85%)

🆕 Edwards ⚠️ Cullen, Esteve, Foster, Mejbri, Roberts, Tuanzebe, Flemming, Worrall

Edwards should return to the side after he was surprisingly dropped last game.


CHELSEA (84%)

🆕 Delap, Garnacho, Cucurella, Fofana, Sanchez ⚠️ Colwill, Lavia, Cucurella, Fofana, Sanchez

Rosenoir is a fan of Delap, I can see him getting a start here.

The three absentees hopefully all return, as well as Garnacho starting after his benching.


CRYSTAL PALACE (94%)

🆕 Devenny, Canvot ⚠️ Doucouré, Kamada, Muñoz, Sarr, Clyne, Lerma, Nketiah, Richards

Clyne is a doubt, so Devenny comes in, as does Canvot for Lerma, but neither are certain.


EVERTON (90%)

🆕 Beto, Rohl ⚠️ Alcaraz, Branthwaite, Coleman, Dewsbury-Hall, Gana, Ndiaye

Big doubt on Keane in this one — he massively struggled in the previous game.

Dibling vs McNeil on the right is impossible to call.


FULHAM (89%)

🆕 Kevin, Berge ⚠️ Bassey, Chukwueze, Iwobi, Muniz, Sessegnon, King, Tete

If Fulham keep the back three, Kevin makes way for Diop, which is why he’s red-circled.


LEEDS (89%)

🆕 Ampadu ⚠️ Rodon, Bogle, James

Reverting back to the 5-3-2.

I believe Leeds will need a midfield three to avoid being overrun by Newcastle.


LIVERPOOL (90%)
