Predicted Lineups for ALL 20 Premier League teams: Gameweek 4

Doing the research so you don’t have to! 👨‍💻

Averaging 91% accuracy so far! ✅

💎🟢🟡🟠🔴 = Likelihood of a start

(%) = Accuracy on previous predictions

🆕 = New players in the lineup

⚠️ = Concerns


ARSENAL (97%)

🆕 Bruno G ⚠️ Mosquera, Timber, Saliba

Almost the entire XI is settled; the only real point of contention is Lewis-Skelly vs Bruno G.

Bruno G I believe is a much better fit for the game, but Arteta could want to build up his minutes further, and there’s a cup match midweek to do just that.


ASTON VILLA (88%)

🆕 Wan-Bissaka ⚠️ Cash, Onana, Manzambi, Goretzka, Gomes, Madjo

Cash didn’t feature at all in the UCL; feel that Wan-Bissaka is in line for a start.

Hemmings may not be a starter for much longer with Mbaye bound to start soon.


BOURNEMOUTH (94%)

⚠️ Milosavljevic, Araujo, Adli, Kroupi

Unchanged

Very settled XI; Juanlu didn’t even start in the cup, so I doubt he starts in the league.

Looks like Di Gregorio could be the goalkeeper for the cup games.


BRENTFORD (94%)

🆕 Schuster, Anthony ⚠️ Collins, Van Den Berg, Jensen, Milambo

With Collins out, Schuster looks almost certain to make his Premier League starting debut.

The halftime subs last weekend do make me concerned about minutes. I think Kayode is safe, Sangare should be fine but I have doubts, and I think Anthony will start over Dango on the right.


BRIGHTON (88%)

⚠️ Wieffer, Hinshelwood, Mitoma, Minteh, Azeez, Georginio, Tzimas

Unchanged

David is still yet to start; wouldn’t be surprised if this was the one.

Injuries mean most players are very likely picks to start.


CHELSEA (79%)

⚠️ Palestra, Caicedo, Henderson

Unchanged

The defence is still up for debate; Colwill looks out of favour with Fofana at LCB, and James preferred as a midfielder.

Caicedo is still out, but Barco will push for a spot in the midfield.

The front 3 is nailed.


COVENTRY (97%)

🆕 Yirenkyi, Tchaouna ⚠️ Wright

Believe we’ll see Coventry revert to a back 4, but they could keep the back 5 with Tchaouna dropping out for Pinnock.


CRYSTAL PALACE (82%)

⚠️ Chadi Riad, Sarr, Mateta

Unchanged

The centre-backs might become a minefield with the arrival of Tomiyasu and Ahanor.

Richards is falling quickly out of favour; we might see him benched, or Canvot.

Disasi has looked solid centrally; the ideal 3 is currently unknown.


EVERTON (91%)

🆕 Grealish, Hackney, Maitland-Niles ⚠️ Garner, Norgaard

3 new signings into the side.

Grealish will be a starter and probably got enough minutes last weekend.

Maitland-Niles is Everton’s new right-back and should come straight in.

Garner is a doubt and isn’t 100% fit, but Moyes does love him, so he could still start.


FULHAM (97%)

🆕 Affengruber ⚠️ Cairney

Arbeloa commented that Affengruber was more physically prepared than Bassey or Andersen; there’s a good chance we see him start straight away.

Charles started over Berge last game, which could happen again.


HULL (91%)

⚠️ Morita, Matazo

Unchanged

Straightforward given their unbelievable form.


IPSWICH (97%)

⚠️ Taylor

Unchanged

Flemming could definitely start over Emersonn; other than that, no changes predicted.


LEEDS (91%)

⚠️ Rodon, Gruev

Unchanged

Elvedi came into the lineup over Bijol last Gameweek; we could see a reverse of that decision.

Wilson pushing for a start.


LIVERPOOL (94%)

🆕 Barcola ⚠️ Gomez, Bradley, Leoni, Gakpo, Ekitike

With Gakpo a doubt, seems like the perfect time to give Barcola a start.

Kerkez could be rotated with Tsimikas.


MAN CITY (91%)
