Predicted lineups for ALL 20 Premier League teams: Double Gameweek 26
Predicting both teams sheets in the double! 👨💻
Averaging 87% accuracy this season ✅
🟢🟡🟠🔴 = Likelihood of a start
(%) = Accuracy on previous predictions
🆕 = New players in the lineup
⚠️ = Concerns
ARSENAL (90%)
🆕 #1: Martinelli, Gyökeres
🆕 #2: Trossard
⚠️ Saka, Trossard, Merino, Ødegaard
Good news for the double, with an FA Cup tie between both fixtures, Arsenal should hopefully fully rotate.
This makes the chances of picking players who start twice much greater.
The likes of Jesus, Hincapié, Eze etc. should start midweek, allowing the full strength team to play twice.
Martinelli/Trossard is always a risky one, and it’s not certain Madueke will start twice out on the right, but it’s a decent chance.
Brentford (A)
Wolves (A)
ASTON VILLA (88%)
🆕 Maatsen, Pau
⚠️ McGinn, Kamara, Tielemans
Potential rotation here, but I don’t think Emery can afford to and will do it in the cup against Newcastle instead.
BOURNEMOUTH (85%)
⚠️ Tavernier, Adams, Kluivert, Doak
Unchanged.
BRENTFORD (87%)
🆕 Damsgaard, Yarmoliuk, Hickey
⚠️ Schade, Nelson, Milambo
It’s difficult to know when Collins will be reintroduced, he didn’t even appear off the bench in the previous game.
Schade is still suspended.
BRIGHTON (88%)
🆕 Welbeck, Gomez, Minteh, Van Hecke, Veltman
⚠️ Van Hecke, Webster, Ayari, Wieffer, March, Tzimas
Have fun Hürzeler, I can’t figure you out.
BURNLEY (86%)
🆕 Foster, Laurent
⚠️ Cullen
The striker spot is anyone’s guess now with 3 options for 1 spot.
Tuanzebe is suspected to be injured, maybe Ekdal comes in that spot instead.
CHELSEA (86%)
🆕 Garnacho, Estevão, Acheampong
⚠️ James, Tosin, Colwill, Gittens, Lavia
I felt James would play this one but he’s still a doubt and now ill too.
The 2nd centre back is a stab in the dark, about 4 options there.
The wingers are too unpredictable to consider.
CRYSTAL PALACE (94%)
🆕 Guessand, Kamada
⚠️ Devenny, Doucouré, Mateta, Nketiah
Guessand to start after an impressive debut.
Johnson could get a start here, as could Hughes.
EVERTON (91%)
🆕 George, Branthwaite
⚠️ Grealish
George to make his first start.
Branthwaite to start alongside Tarkowski, Keane finally given a break.
FULHAM (88%)
🆕 Muniz, Tete, Robinson
⚠️ Lukic, Cairney
With Muniz back I can see him starting straight away.
Orange circle have solid alternatives and therefore I cannot be confident.
Will be interesting to see if Bobb features.
LEEDS (90%)
🆕 Nmecha, Bijol
⚠️ Struijk, Stach
Leeds gain a centre back but lose another.
The final spot is always tough, I’ve gone for 2 up top with Nmecha partnering Calvert-Lewin to target Chelsea’s centre backs.
LIVERPOOL (90%)
🆕 Jones
⚠️ Bradley, Frimpong, Gomez, Leoni, Szoboszlai, Isak
With Szoboszlai suspended the obvious change is Jones filling in at right back.
MAN CITY (82%)
🆕 Cherki, Foden, Reijnders, Nico, Rúben
⚠️ Gvardiol, Khusanov, Stones, Doku, Savinho, Kovacic
Really tough this week.
How will Pep see the cup fixture, he could rotate massively but he’s gone pretty strong in the cups so far.
Pep roulette is back.
MAN UNITED (83%)
⚠️ Dorgu, De Ligt, Mount
Unchanged.
Sticking to what works.
Mbeumo should be fine after he was seen limping after the Spurs game.
NEWCASTLE (87%)
🆕 Elanga, Gordon, Ramsey, Burn
⚠️ Schär, Livramento, Krafth, Gordon, Miley, Joelinton
As you can see, the amount of options Newcastle have now puts everyone at risk.
There’s not a single player I can be 90%+ confident of a start.
There’s a number of “they should start”, but this could be disastrously wrong.
NOTTINGHAM FOREST (87%)
🆕 Lucca, Hutchinson, Williams, Murillo
⚠️ Sels, Murillo, Savona, Wood
The subs who made a change against Leeds to start this one.
Williams returns from suspension.
Typically when I’ve predicted Murillo to start when he’s a doubt, he hasn’t.
SPURS (82%)
🆕 Drăgușin, Souza
⚠️ Romero, Porro, Danso, Udogie, Davies, Kudus, Bentancur, Bergvall, Maddison, Kulusevski
Can almost make a starting XI with the injuries…
The options in defence are incredibly light, this seems familiar…
SUNDERLAND (88%)
⚠️ Xhaka, Traoré
Unchanged.
Mayenda on the right or Mundle on the left would be the only changes I wouldn’t be surprised to see.
New signing Angulo probably isn’t ready for a start yet, especially not against the champions.
WEST HAM (85%)
🆕 Potts
⚠️ Todibo, Pablo
Nuno said that there would be players who missed out, but didn’t say who, so can’t look too much into it.
Wilson came off with a knock and Pablo wasn’t even in the squad, so it’s most likely them.
WOLVES (80%)
🆕 #1: André, R. Gomes, Krejčí
🆕 #2: Hee Chan
⚠️ Toti, André, Hee Chan
Incredibly hard to tell.
Given the change in formation last game that didn’t work and both new signings Armstrong and Angel immediately starting, as well as Hee Chan and André both being doubts.
I think if you’re looking for assets, Tolu, Mané, J. Gomes and any of the 3 centre backs are your safest bets.
