Mount and Emerson recover from injury to start against Liverpool

The final two matches of Gameweek 6 take place this afternoon as Chelsea entertain Liverpool and Arsenal take on Aston Villa.

Kick-off at Stamford Bridge and at the Emirates is at 16:30 BST.

The headline news comes from west London, with Chelsea – and Fantasy managers – handed a boost upon the release of the teamsheets.

Mason Mount has recovered from injury to make his sixth straight start in the top flight, while N’Golo Kante and Emerson Palmieri are also back in Frank Lampard’s starting XI after stepping up their recoveries over the last week.

Lampard has ditched the 3-4-2-1 and reverted to a 4-3-3, with Tammy Abraham flanked by Mount and Willian up top.

Liverpool have made only one change from the side that lost to Napoli in midweek, with Georginio Wijnaldum in for James Milner in central midfield.

That means there are starts for Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Andrew Robertson, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah.

Unai Emery has made multiple changes from the side that beat Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday but, compared to Arsenal’s Gameweek 5 line-up, there is only one alteration: Bukayo Saka in for Mesut Ozil.

Sead Kolasinac has been passed fit despite coming off with a minor knock in Germany.

Aston Villa also make just one change to the side that drew 0-0 against West Ham on Monday night: Trezeguet returns from suspension and replaces the benched Jota.


Arsenal XI: Leno, Maitland-Niles, Luiz, Sokratis, Kolasinac, Xhaka, Guendouzi, Ceballos, Pepe, Aubameyang, Saka.

Aston Villa XI: Heaton, Guilbert, Engels, Mings, Taylor, Nakamba, McGinn, Grealish, El Ghazi, Trezeguet, Wesley.

Chelsea XI: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Tomori, Emerson, Kanté, Jorginho, Kovačić, Willian, Abraham, Mount.

Liverpool XI: Adrian, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He had one. A one on one and fluffed it

    Surely no one relevant owns Maitland Niles?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Great fixtures and improving defensively, no?

  23. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Sokrates is pathetic. Headbuts Wesley in the knee and fakes an injury 😆

  24. sminkypinky

    If Tammy finishes this match fit I’m defo getting him. Gets into nice spaces, looks dangerous.

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Have to agree as non-owner, Pool fan and Tammy non-believer. Also Barnes owner 0ft and 0.0 itb.

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Include Xhaka as well

    2. have you seen cyan

      Arsenal very well maybe going for the Sheffield tactic of getting a game abandoned for lack of players. They just need to use their 3 subs and get another 2 reds

    Lev Yashin stuff from Adrian
