Predicted lineups for ALL 20 Premier League teams: Gameweek 38
Last one for the season, after averaging 86% overall! ✅
As always, comment if you think I’ve missed something 🔎
(%) = Accuracy on previous predictions
🆕 = New players in the lineup
⚠️ = Concerns
ARSENAL: (86%)
🆕 Havertz, Jorginho, Merino, Tierney, Calafiori
⚠️ Saliba, Gabriel, Timber, Jesus
Arteta has stated he wants to end the season on a high, but I expect some rotation, as Tierney and Jorginho play their final games for the club.
I think Havertz comes into the side, if he’s fit enough to start, Merino in the midfield, and I think Saka is just slightly more likely to start than not.
Raya has no chance of rotation as he needs 1 more clean sheet for the golden glove.
ASTON VILLA: (85%)
🆕 Mings, Digne
⚠️ Tielemans, Rashford
Usual 50/50s at LB and LCB, otherwise mostly the same.
With Ramsey back from suspension, he could very easily start.
BOURNEMOUTH: (87%)
🆕 Scott, Smith
⚠️ Hill, Scott, Dango, Cook, Christie, Sinisterra, Ünal
Extremely light on midfield options, this team sheet could look interesting.
I’m not confident on Kluivert starting at all, given the real lack of minutes recently.
BRENTFORD: (91%)
⚠️ Janelt
Unchanged. Your usual Brentford lineup.
Ajer played for the Brentford Academy on Wednesday, hinting that Kayode should be fine to start.
BRIGHTON: (80%)
🆕 Mitoma
⚠️ Lamptey, Kadioglu, Rutter, March, Milner, Joao Pedro
Mitoma in for Adingra is my only predicted change.
O’Riley is a possible replacement for Gruda, as is Dunk for Webster.
Joao Pedro will not feature at all.
CHELSEA: (88%)
🆕 Lavia
⚠️ Fofana, Jackson
James I think has to start, but I’m also expecting Lavia to play as well.
This means Enzo pushes up to a sole 10 position, with either Palmer right and Neto up top or vice versa.
Sancho and George could still start.
CRYSTAL PALACE: (90%)
🆕 Mateta, Eze, Kamada, Mitchell
⚠️ Guehi, Clyne, Chilwell, Wharton, Doucoure
Full strength for Palace to end the season.
The celebrations haven’t quite begun—they’ll want to finish the season with a good performance vs the champions.
EVERTON: (89%)
🆕 Alcaraz, Iroegbunam, Keane, Young
⚠️ Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Coleman, Lindstrøm, Mangala
Nothing to play for for Everton, so I’m expecting rotation to give some fringe players minutes.
Issue is there’s no telling who will come in/out, so I’m guessing a lot with this one.
FULHAM: (90%)
🆕 Wilson, Cairney
⚠️ Castagne, Nelson, Reed, Muniz
Could be Cairney’s last game for the club, so I expect him to start.
Other than that it’s a pretty regular Fulham side.
IPSWICH: (81%)
🆕 Chaplin, Broadhead, Taylor, Woolfenden
⚠️ Muric, Burgess, Townsend, Szmodics, Philogene, Burns, Phillips, Ogbene
I’ve gone with a romantic side for Ipswich’s final game in the Premier League for we don’t know how long.
All the players who contributed to getting Ipswich there in the first place start, Burgess too if he’s fit.
LEICESTER: (85%)
🆕 Daka
⚠️ Mavididi, Cordova-Reid, Fatawu, Vardy
We could see insane amounts of rotation for this completely pointless game for Leicester, they had their finale last Gameweek.
But to be honest, I can’t tell who will change, so I’ve predicted the same lineup just Daka coming in for Vardy who will not play.
LIVERPOOL: (88%)
🆕 Luis Diaz, Jones, Van Dijk, Robertson
⚠️ Mac Allister
Full strength for Liverpool, wanting to finish with a massive performance at their home ground.
MAN CITY: (80%)
🆕 N. Gonzales
⚠️ Stones, Kovacic
Just Nico coming in for the suspended Kovacic.
No telling what will happen with this Man City team on the final day—none.
MAN UNITED: (82%)
🆕 Obi, Mainoo, Ugarte, Amass, Heaven, Bayindir
⚠️ De Ligt, Martinez
I mean, who knows. This game means nothing to Man United, so it’s totally unpredictable what Amorim will do for probably his last game at the club.
NEWCASTLE: (90%)
⚠️ Isak, Joelinton, Hall, Trippier
Unchanged.
I think Isak is more likely to start than not, given that it’s the final game of the season, Newcastle need to win, and he’s going for surgery afterwards anyway.
Same formation as the last 2 games.
NOTTINGHAM FOREST: (89%)
⚠️ Awoniyi, Murillo
Unchanged.
The biggest question mark is Murillo, but given the enormity of the game, I think he’ll start.
SOUTHAMPTON: (82%)
🆕 Smallbone, Stewart, Sugawara
⚠️ Bednarek, Harwood-Bellis, Walker-Peters, Grønbæk
A dead rubber game for Southampton, but I imagine they’ll want to make things difficult for Arsenal in their last Premier League game.
SPURS: (84%)
🆕 Bissouma
⚠️ Dragusin, Maddison, Kulusevski, Bergvall
Basically the same fully rotated side that faced Villa.
Heavy doubt on Son though—he looked GONE in those parade videos 😂
Update: Son and Bissouma out. Solanke and Sarr in.
WEST HAM: (84%)
⚠️ Summerville, Antonio
Unchanged.
Potter was quoted saying they haven’t rotated, so why bother in the final game?
So here you go, an unchanged side.
I do imagine a couple changes though, Füllkrug to come in, and probably a midfield change of sorts.
WOLVES: (88%)
🆕 Hee Chan, Munetsi, Joao Gomes, Semedo, Doherty
⚠️ Strand Larsen, Mosquera
Does Strand Larsen being a doubt make Cunha sure to start? No.
It’s back to full strength except I’ve gone with Hwang as the #9.
Don’t let this put you off starting Cunha in your team though—it’s a bold call on my behalf.
