(%) = Accuracy on previous predictions
🆕 = New players in the lineup
⚠️ = Concerns

ARSENAL: (87%)

🆕 Nwaneri, Zinchenko, White, Tierney
⚠️ Gabriel, Calafiori, Jorginho, Havertz, Jesus

A heavily rotated side, with most key players rested.
Partey plays 45 minutes, he’ll be so crucial for the 2nd leg vs PSG.


ASTON VILLA: (84%)

🆕 Watkins, McGinn, Mings
⚠️ Rashford

With Rashford seemingly out for the season, Watkins is a very safe bet.
Asensio could still start, but I’m predicting he won’t.


BOURNEMOUTH: (88%)

⚠️ Christie, Sinisterra, Ünal

Unchanged.
Evanilson’s red card was rescinded and he’ll be available.


BRENTFORD: (90%)

🆕 Henry
⚠️ Hickey, Janelt, Thiago

Lewis-Potter hasn’t had a good time in recent weeks, so I’m leaning to believe Henry gets a start in this one.
Otherwise, the same team.


BRIGHTON: (80%)

🆕 Gruda, Mitoma, Minteh, Van Hecke
⚠️ Webster, Kadioglu, Rutter, Joao Pedro

Brighton have most of their squad back.
I think Gruda gets given a start after his heroics last Gameweek.
Veltman could easily start, but Wieffer has covered well at RB.


CHELSEA: (88%)

🆕 Gusto
⚠️ Sanchez, Fofana, Nkunku

Assuming Chelsea start all the players who didn’t play midweek.
Could definitely be Lavia in midfield with Caicedo at RB again.


CRYSTAL PALACE: (91%)

🆕 Mateta, Sarr, Richards, Hughes
⚠️ C. Doucoure

Palace have another game before the FA Cup final, so this one should be fairly full strength.
The midfield is the toughest position to call, with plenty of great options Palace could use.


EVERTON: (90%)

🆕 Broja, McNeil
⚠️ Tarkowski, Lindstrøm, Mangala, Calvert-Lewin

Broja was unavailable for the game vs Chelsea, so should return to the lineup.
The wingers are tricky to call, either of Ndiaye or McNeil could be benched for Harrison.


FULHAM: (90%)

🆕 Robinson, Lukic
⚠️ Nelson, Muniz

Hard to tell who will start at right wing, so I’ve actually gone with both Wilson and Sessegnon, with Wilson lining up in the 10.


IPSWICH: (80%)

🆕 Hutchinson, Cajuste
⚠️ Muric, Davis, Johnson, Tuanzebe, Townsend, Szmodics, Philogene, Burns, Broadhead, Phillips, Ogbene

With Johnson suspended, it’s likely Hutchinson comes in on the right.


LEICESTER: (84%)

🆕 Stolarczyk, Ayew, McAteer
⚠️ Hermansen, Ricardo, Buonanotte, De Cordova-Reid, Fatawu

Injuries in attack have limited options on the wings for Leicester.


LIVERPOOL: (89%)
