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.

    2. aborg
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Nice TAA 🙂 Just disappointed it was not a Mane assist just because Salah touched the ball for TAA before the free kick !

    3. Tomerick
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Masterful assist from Salah.

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Sigh.

    5. LIARS POKER
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      On WC

      A) Sterling + Aurier
      B) Son + TAA

      1. beric
        • 12 Years

      2. C'mon the Fylde
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Son and TAA

    6. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Lampard before the match asked if hes risking Emerson and Mount coming back from injury:

      "we have a deep squad so there is no reason for me to take risks. If they were not 100 % fit they would not play"

      15 minutes later Emerson subbed off. Nice injury management Frank.

      1. Eat my goal!

        Daft particularly when the back up is alonso

    7. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      salah clearly has himself in his own fantasy team and not mane

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Firmino has Salah and Mane

    8. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      How come Chelsea fans not booing salah?

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Most of them support City now

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          😀

        2. KDB4PREZ
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Hahahah

    9. Bielsa's Bucket
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Imagine needing Emerson not to play for Lundstram points

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

        FFS 🙁

      2. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Well he's not playing now...

      3. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Ooofff

    10. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Still plenty of time for more TAA returns

    11. WVA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Only way Salah can outscore Mane is by stealing his assists

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        TAA would probably not have scored it without someone laying it off for him. Ball was too close to the goal so hard to get it over the wall and down again.

    12. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      What happened to Emerson?

    13. Am sorry to say again it�…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      "TAA is a rotation risk"
      "TAA is too expensive"
      "Robbo > TAA"

      I love you trent

    15. Regin
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      why salah assist?? shouldnt mane get the assist?

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

        Mane assist if Salah didn’t touch it

      2. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        pathetic joke as usual, salah going round stealing assists

      3. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Salah passed it to TAA. TAA then shot.

      4. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Huh!
        Salah rolled it to him.

      5. Chirsbom
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Nope, Salah set it up, next last touch on the ball.
