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.

    1. beric
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

  5. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years

    Tammy goal Mount goal Salah goal upcoming. 3:3 at the end

    1. FPL Daniel

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Is his fault only ?

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Not at all,a decent keeper. But Alison better and defencebetter organised with him.

  10. Chirsbom
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Got to like Kante. Does that once or twice every season. No reason to have him in FPL. But the little man deserves some credit!

  15. TorresMagic™

    Kante goal means a 100K rise 🙂

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Oh my. One of the best WC ever

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Just the CS wipeout was the reason.

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

      Probably 100k drop for me with TAA VVD

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      How come? Is that from the wipe out of Pool defense CS?

    4. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Are you a footballer. Some hefty rise there

    5. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      50k drop in estimated.

      2.3mil up to 830k though.

      Will take that

  16. Rainer

    2. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  20. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years

  21. TheTinman
    • 8 Years

    Fecking useless Arsenal. Never make that mistake again.

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

    VVD to Lundstrom paid off then. Not exactly what I was expecting.

  23. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

  25. Sailboats
    • 8 Years

    Come on Tammy!!

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Disgusting.

  26. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years

    Salah might be in 1 BP

  27. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years

    VVVD overrated

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Overwritten too

    2. Chirsbom
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      No he is not. Not his mistakes.

  28. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    That goal cost me 10pts in FPL but I dint care. Come soon Chelsea aaaaa

  29. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Adrian started this with his weak mentality in wasting time

    Not seen Liverpool do that under klopp.

  30. tucaoneo
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Auba once let Laca take a penalty just to boost his confidence. Lewandowski did the same for Coutinho yesterday. It may be Auba is doing it again for Pepe. Won't say Pepe is definitely on penalty just yet.

    1. Tempestic
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      This is exactly what I was thinking
