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.

    So I guess Aubameyang isn't the designated penalty taker... Is this news just for me?

    1. EmreCan Hustle

      4 years, 8 months ago

      I was so annoyed. Aubameyang was my captain.

      1. All For One
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        How did Aubameyang play, worth picking him over Abraham?

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          I'm keeping him because Tammy is yet to score against a decent defense

      2. KGFC

        Me too! So furious that Pepe took it!

      Strange, I thought he would be too

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      think Auba just let Pepe take it to try open the floodgates for him

    You know its been a bad week when Mcginn (if keeps 3 BAPS) is your teams top scorer

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      McGinn is a gem tbh

    19. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      70 but all due to yesterday so I’m disappointed

      76.

      Double LIV CS bust was annoying (again), but happy to rush it next week & was a small sacrifice for that Kante wonder-goal.

    21. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

    Any other Ceballos owners wondering why on earth they brought him in?

    He's scored me 2, 1, 1, 2

    Straight out for Mount and good riddance

    1. Maddocio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Could agree more he’s gone for me

  8. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Aurier or Tomori? Decent fixtures and nice price for both, or would you pick another defender sub 5?

  9. hogree

    I have to crunch some numbers still, but I believe that Kanté goal cost me a 99 point haul... Will make do with an approximate 85-86...

  11. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Will Firmino goal winning BAPS to get him 3 BAPS?

    1. mrodgers91

  12. Arteta
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    How bad was Ceballos today? Too bad 6.0 doesn't buy you anyone decent with decent fixtures, otherwise he'd be out like the fat kid in dodgeball.

  28. Bury94

    Got rid of Jota for a hit for Pukki this week, that went well

    3. rodragon
