Predicted lineups for ALL 20 Premier League teams: Gameweek 27

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 (88%)

🆕 White, Trossard

⚠️ Saka, Trossard, Merino, Ødegaard, Havertz

Timber dropped for the NDL is my big prediction for the Gameweek.

Saka in the #10 again frees up the spot for Madueke, but Havertz, Ødegaard or Eze could start there.

Hincapié to retain his spot.


ASTON VILLA (88%)

🆕 Cash

⚠️ Bizot, McGinn, Kamara, Tielemans, Elliott

Cash is fit for the weekend so likely returns to the side, otherwise unchanged.


BOURNEMOUTH (87%)

🆕 Kroupi Jr, Cook

⚠️ Tavernier, Kluivert, Doak

With a number of players returning for Bournemouth, predictions are getting trickier.

Adams is a sure starter when fully fit. Scott is the likeliest to partner him, but with his injury record it’s likely he’ll be eased back with caution, with Cook starting at the weekend.

Adli and Rayan are in such great form I don’t see either winger being dropped.

This leaves one spot open for one of Christie, Tóth, Kroupi or Brooks.

Also a chance Kroupi is used as a striker, hence why Evanilson isn’t green.


BRENTFORD (86%)

⚠️ Milambo

Unchanged.

Damsgaard isn’t part of the first XI anymore, but Henderson might be.

Collins is a tricky one. He played a full 90 last week — it’s thought he’ll come back in at some point, maybe this week is the week?

Schade back from suspension.


BRIGHTON (86%)

🆕 Georginio, Wieffer

⚠️ Webster, Ayari, March, Tzimas

Wieffer returns to the lineup.

The attack continues to be a rotation nightmare. The only one I can be confident of starting is Mitoma — but even that isn’t guaranteed.


BURNLEY (86%)

🆕 Lucas Pires

⚠️ Tuanzebe, Roberts, Cullen, Broja

Humphreys started at LWB last time out — that could definitely happen again given the amazing victory Burnley had.


CHELSEA (84%)

🆕 Fofana, Neto, Hato, James

⚠️ Jörgensen, Cucurella, Colwill, Gittens, Lavia

Cucurella out for weeks suggests Hato will come in as a straight replacement.

James is first choice over Gusto and should have had a long enough break between matches.

Chalobah was fully rested last weekend. The other centre-back spot is still a complete gamble.

This lineup could see Enzo on the left, Palmer central, Neto right.


CRYSTAL PALACE (93%)

🆕 Yeremy, Canvot, Chadi Riad

⚠️ Lacroix, Lerma, Doucouré, Mateta, Nketiah

Strand Larsen and Sarr are nailed on for two attacking spots. The third is a total lottery between Johnson, Pino and Guessand — I’d personally avoid.

Lacroix and Lerma out would likely mean a back three of Richards, Canvot and Riad, but there’s even potential for Mitchell at CB with Sosa at LWB.


EVERTON (90%)

🆕 Patterson

⚠️ O’Brien, Grealish

Patterson in for the suspended O’Brien is the only predicted change, but that could be Coleman.

Plenty of players on the bench to make changes though. Most likely would be Armstrong over George.


FULHAM (87%)

🆕 Robinson, Kevin

⚠️ Lukić, Cairney

The left-back spot is heavily contested, as are the left centre-back and striker spots.

With Chukwueze out, Kevin should be a sure starter on the left wing.

Wilson is yellow due to the slight risk of Oscar Bobb.


LEEDS (88%)

🆕 Calvert-Lewin, Struijk, Stach

⚠️ Okafor

Struijk and Stach return from injury.

Nmecha could definitely still start, as could Justin.


LIVERPOOL (90%)
