Predicted lineups for ALL 20 Premier League teams: Gameweek 36

The final Double Gameweek! 💰 💰

Averaging 87% accuracy this season ✅

🟢🟡🟠🔴 = Likelihood of a start
(%) = Accuracy on previous predictions

🆕 = New players in the lineup
⚠️ = Concerns


ARSENAL (87%)

🆕 Odegaard

⚠️ Timber, Merino

With all still to play for in the league and a decent gap before the next UCL game, we should expect to see practically full-strength Arsenal.

Trossard could very much start, as could Zubimendi.


ASTON VILLA (86%)

🆕 Watkins, McGinn, Buendia, Douglas Luiz, Pau, Digne, Konsa

⚠️ Onana, Kamara

With a decent gap before the Europa League final, we should see a strong Villa side.

If Villa win this game, they guarantee Champions League football—might as well go all out, then rest afterwards.


BOURNEMOUTH (87%)

🆕 Smith

⚠️ Jimenez, Kluivert, Cook

More of the same. Kroupi is good for this fixture, but Kluivert is returning very soon.

Jimenez will not play.


BRENTFORD (86%)

⚠️ Henry

Unchanged.

There’s a possible chance of a back 5 against Man City, with Dango therefore dropping out of the lineup.

With Henderson and Janelt back in the mix, the midfield isn’t as nailed.


BRIGHTON (86%)

🆕 Veltman

⚠️ Webster, Gomez, Wieffer, March

Dunk is fully fit, so he very well could come back into the side.

With Gomez out, the front 4 should stay the same.


BURNLEY (86%)

🆕 Hannibal

⚠️ Cullen


CHELSEA (84%)

🆕 Jorgensen, Delap, Colwill

⚠️ Sanchez, Neto, Estevao, Garnacho, Gittens, Derry

Basically every winger for Chelsea is unavailable, which likely means Joao Pedro moving out to the left like he did when Derry got injured.

Colwill should be fit enough for a start, as could Reece James.


CRYSTAL PALACE (91%)

Crystal Palace and Man City split in to two predicted line-ups.
