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.

      Poor Mark, and Mount blocking Lundy 12 pointer from the bench.

    What the heck is Pépé taking Aubas penalty for?!?!!??? Bye auba. How do I get me an Aguero

  12. FC Hakkebøf

    People called me insane for tripling up on City offensively on a WC rather than going for one of Salah/Mane in gw3. Seems like I'm getting the better of that deal except for those who went with Mane/Salah instead of Sterling. It was a gamble, I admit that. But I went with fixtures and form over the ''cover'' theory.

    1. TheTinman
      • 8 Years

      Won’t win 8-0 every week though will they

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        I'm not speaking about this week. But Aguero have consistently outscored both Mane and Salah. And was 0.5 cheaper than the latter.

        And I firmly believe City will outscore Liverpool in the long run. Only reason for me to get in a Pool attacker is, if Aguero or Sterling starts to get rotated on a regular basis

        1. OPTA FPL

          same here and missed out Otamendy yesterday ((

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Comeback to us in 3 weeks. There will be more games where City win by just 1 or 2 and then you'll wish you had cover.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        We'll see (:

    Arsenal paid £70m for a penalty taker this summer (Pepe), when they already have one (Auba). That money could have been better used on a CB.

  14. CRO KLOPP

    AMN a gift that keeps on giving

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Not sure why anyone would pay 5.0 for a Arsenal defender tbh

  15. Ady87
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Couple points off my first 100 pointer in a single game week for ages. Need something further from Wesley, Salah, Trent or Tammy. An assist would do I think!

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Congrats, amazing week.

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years

      If you want something from Tammy, Trent loses cleanie.

  16. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    I am thinking Mane to Firmino...

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Mane to who and who to Firmino though?

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        I have Mane Salah and Trent

        1. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          I know, that's not what I asked...

            • 4 Years

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years

      As long as it’s Mount idc when

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Mount Assist, Tammy header- 82

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      After Klopp takes off one of the midfield trio and brings on Ox or Milner.

  18. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Pepe a better option than Son?

    If he is on penalty duties he could very well be?

    1. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Only took the pen to build confidence, He thanked subs after

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
