Predicted Lineups for ALL 20 Premier League Teams – Gameweek 22

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%)

🆕 White ⚠️ Calafiori, Hincapié, Mosquera

Really unsure between Trossard and Martinelli, complete 50/50 for me.


ASTON VILLA (88%)

🆕 Bizot, Buendía, Bogarde ⚠️ Martínez, Kamara, Onana, Barkley

Martínez will be assessed ahead of this game. Onana and Kamara out means Bogarde in midfield. Coin flip at left-back: Maatsen started midweek, Digne played well last weekend.


BOURNEMOUTH (85%)

🆕 Adli ⚠️ Adams, Brooks, Kluivert, Christie, Doak, Ünal

With Semenyo gone there’s a gap in attack. If Brooks is a doubt, Adli gets the nod. Kroupi should get minutes, but needs starts to be trusted.


BRENTFORD (87%)

🆕 Van den Berg ⚠️ Henderson, Milambo

Likely a back five in this fixture. Despite Dango returning, I don’t expect him to start. Van den Berg the likely sacrifice if it’s a back four. Henry vs Hickey vs Lewis-Potter at LWB is a real uncertainty.


BRIGHTON (87%)

🆕 Veltman, Welbeck ⚠️ Webster, Wieffer, Tzimas

Need more consistency before increasing confidence. Wouldn’t be surprised if Gomez, Hinshelwood, De Cuyper, Minteh, Milner, or Baleba start. Defence looks locked with Wieffer out.


BURNLEY (86%)

🆕 Tuanzebe ⚠️ Worrall, Roberts, Cullen, Flemming

Tuanzebe returns to the side. Most positions settled; wingers rotate frequently. Foster back from AFCON but unlikely to start.


CHELSEA (84%)

🆕 Garnacho, James, Fofana ⚠️ James, Gusto, Colwill, Palmer, Gittens, Lavia, Delap

A very tricky one. Delap has been ill — Guiu may start at 9 over João Pedro. Garnacho likely rewarded after midweek impact. If James and Gusto miss out, Acheampong could start. Palmer still struggling fitness-wise.


CRYSTAL PALACE (94%)

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

With Guéhi gone, it’s likely Lerma or Richards fill the gap unless a signing arrives.


EVERTON (89%)

🆕 Rohl, Patterson ⚠️ Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye, Iroegbunam, Gana, Alcaraz, Keane, Branthwaite, Coleman

Grealish served suspension midweek. Limited alternatives due to injuries. Yes — £40m Dibling still benched.


FULHAM (89%)

🆕 Kevin, Lukic ⚠️ Tete, Bassey, Iwobi, Chukwueze, King, Muniz

Only two variables:

  1. Back five with Kevin out
  2. Cairney over Berge or Lukic Otherwise very settled.


LEEDS UNITED (89%)

🆕 Okafor ⚠️ James

Close to first-choice XI. Boyle could replace Justin. Midfield spot between Nmecha, Tanaka, Gruev, or Okafor.


LIVERPOOL (90%)
