Predicted lineups for ALL 20 Premier League teams: Gameweek 24
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 (89%)
⚠️ Dowman
Unchanged
The orange circles are the 2 positions of contention.
Calafiori returned midweek but looked rusty, so I expect Hincapie to start.
Wouldn't surprise me at all to see Gyökeres favoured over Jesus. Havertz is back but he's been out nearly an entire year so no chance he'll start again.
A number of yellow flags just because Arteta has shown he can rest players all of a sudden.
ASTON VILLA (88%)
🆕 Abraham, Douglas Luiz ⚠️ McGinn, Kamara, Tielemans, Barkley, Watkins
I've gone for both new signings starting immediately!
Douglas Luiz played for Villa under Emery, so will already understand the role.
Watkins came off with a potential injury, the extent of which we don't really know, but given he's played so much I think this is a good chance to rest him.
Still wondering whether Elliott starts centrally and Rogers goes up top, it's possible.
BOURNEMOUTH (86%)
⚠️ Tavernier, Adams, Brooks, Kluivert, Doak
Unchanged
Injuries keep this lineup very consistent.
£25m Rayan has joined the squad, but Iraola said in his presser he's a young lad who doesn't even speak English — would be stunned if he started already.
BRENTFORD (87%)
🆕 Dango, Van den Berg ⚠️ Ajer, Damsgaard, Milambo
Ajer and Damsgaard are both doubts. Makes sense that both of them are on the bench, with Dango finally returning to the XI.
BRIGHTON (87%)
🆕 Georginio, Minteh, Veltman ⚠️ Webster, Wieffer, Gomez
Close decision between whether Welbeck starts up top again, and if he does whether Rutter comes back into the lineup.
Minteh still a huge minutes risk — don't go there.
BURNLEY (87%)
⚠️ Cullen
Unchanged
Ward-Prowse has signed on loan, but very unlikely he starts as he has not played regular Premier League football since September.
CHELSEA (84%)
🆕 Delap, Palmer, Garnacho, Gusto ⚠️ Tosin, Colwill, Lavia
Horrible time predicting this one...
With so many players playing so many minutes and so many games, there could be a random benching here.
João Pedro is the obvious omission — it's a coin toss between him and Delap up top.
Palmer is “ready to start”, but that doesn't guarantee he will. João Pedro could very well play there instead.
James typically doesn't start at the weekend after starting midweek, but that could change!
CRYSTAL PALACE (93%)
🆕 Yeremy, Hughes ⚠️ Sosa, Wharton, Kamada, Devenny, Doucouré, Mateta, Nketiah
Mateta will not be with the squad, boosting the minutes of the other attackers, but Uche is still an option up front.
Palace only really have 2 fit midfielders.
EVERTON (90%)
🆕 Dewsbury-Hall, Keane ⚠️ Grealish, Iroegbunam
With Branthwaite back in the picture, the minutes at the back come under doubt.
My best guess is that Keane drops out, but we don't know how Moyes will see things. Patterson has been pretty good too, so not sure if O'Brien starts.
Dewsbury-Hall comes back into the #10.
FULHAM (89%)
🆕 Tete, Bassey ⚠️ Tete, Lukic, Chukwueze, Bobb, Muniz
Tete has trained with the team this week — I expect him to start.
Chukwueze has unfortunately lost his mother this week, question marks whether he will feature.
Bobb signs this week.
LEEDS (88%)
⚠️ Gudmundsson, Bijol, James, Nmecha
Unchanged
I don't expect any changes for Leeds, given the number of injuries/doubts and the fact a game against Arsenal will call for bodies behind the ball.
LIVERPOOL (89%)
🆕 Ekitike, Konaté, Jones ⚠️ Bradley, Frimpong, Gomez, Leoni, Isak
The main dilemma here is what happens at right back.
Szoboszlai will definitely start, and I do think it'll be at right back, leaving a spot in midfield open.
This could mean either Jones comes in, or Wirtz central with Gakpo on the left.
The up top are yellow because any one of them could make way for Gakpo to start.
Konaté will be back.
MAN CITY (83%)
🆕 Haaland, Foden ⚠️ Rúben, Gvardiol, Stones, Doku, Savinho, Kovačić
The benched duo last week come back into the side.
Reijnders and Marmoush on the bench, but would surprise no-one to see either start.
O'Reilly at risk with Aït-Nouri and Aké potentially able to play left back.
MAN UNITED (86%)
🆕 Šeško, Cunha ⚠️ Dorgu, De Ligt, Zirkzee
There are so many permutations with this attack.
I'm expecting Fulham to sit back and absorb pressure, meaning Šeško will be a preferred fit for the striker position.
If that happens, I'm confident Mbeumo will still start.
Of course, Amad could easily still start — he's been in great form.
Cunha comes in for Dorgu, but it could be Amad on the left.
The midfield and defence feel pretty set for United, until De Ligt gets back, and Dalot seems to be first choice.
NEWCASTLE (89%)
🆕 Burn, Bruno G, Ramsey ⚠️ Schär, Livramento, Lascelles, Krafth, Joelinton
Burn back complicates things. He could play left back and bench Hall, he could bench one of Botman or Thiaw (more likely Botman), it could even be a back three.
I've gone for Hall benched, as well as Miley, given Bruno G could be back and Ramsey was seriously impressive against PSG.
NOTTINGHAM FOREST (87%)
⚠️ Savona, Wood
Unchanged
SPURS (83%)
🆕 Gray, Palhinha ⚠️ Van de Ven, Porro, Davies, Kudus, Bentancur, Bergvall, Maddison, Kulusevski, Richarlison
Despite the number of injuries, Frank's tactics keep changing.
Van de Ven is a doubt — could be Danso instead.
Could be a back three with two in midfield.
My confidence is low because there are just so many options that all could be given a chance by Frank.
SUNDERLAND (88%)
🆕 Talbi, Diarra ⚠️ Xhaka, Traoré
Most of the XI locked on — it's really just the wingers that are heavily contested.
Hume has been playing right wing, Talbi could move to the left. Quite a number of options.
WEST HAM (86%)
🆕 Diouf ⚠️ Paquetá
Adama Traoré is an option, likely from the bench, given his main competition would be Bowen.
WOLVES (80%)
🆕 Tolu, R. Gomes ⚠️ Krejčí, Toti
Tolu back in for Arias and a change at RWB.
Krejčí has been struggling with the flu — chance he doesn't feature.
