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.

    Ball in the 6 yard box and he’s starting in his line...

    A proper Kepa clears man, ball and all there!

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Wasn't a corner orba free kick from a distance. Could easily have gone for the driect goal if kepa had an different starting position

  3. Pukki Blinders
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    VVD -> TAA for a hit needs to be done. Can't bare this rubbish anymore

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Exactly my thought. Although delighted we are winning and keeping CS obv

  4. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Just when I thought this GW couldn't be much worse, TAA & Robbo gets points

  5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

  6. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    A Guilbert clean sheet would make my week

  7. osceola31909
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Is Pieters the best Burnley defender option?

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

    And people think Chelsea and Arse will finish above united 😆

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

    2. OPTA FPL

    3. FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Did you see Utd match today? Looked like a relegation team

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

      How did that United game go btw?

    5. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Is it more about how many finish above all 3 of them?

    6. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

  9. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Has Celladross done anything remotely yet?

    1. Yoshioka
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      He’s been excellent.

  10. DAZZ
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Double Liverpool defence aint doing bad today.

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      oof - tempting providence that is!

  11. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Would you double up with pool defence? With TAA and Robbo? Seem very influential as usual

    1. adibo
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Nah they gonna lose that cleansheet

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

    Arsenal aint getting nuthing in this game, going down to the river as an auba and mane owner

  13. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Too scary to go all the way to GW13 with no Pool defenders?
    This game is destroying by GW only got Mane and Abraham in this one.

    1. Chirsbom
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Big at the back was the meta at the start of the season, with as much as three liverpool in defence. There is a reason for that and you are seeing it now.

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Fair point I was the biggest advocate 🙂

  14. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    United fan Martin Tyler crying about VAR - love it!

    1. Here's Tom with the We…
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Carra nearly in tears because someone had a different opinion

  15. Critical Observer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Lol at the VAR, the offside was like 30 seconds before the goal. Interesting how the dippers get all the "luck" in the world match after match.

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      F**k off with that dippers sh*t will you.

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Terible VAR decision

  16. Pacer.
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Lot of people downgrading their defenders in the last couple of weeks

    Interesting to see how this pans out

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      you mean for Digne & Zinch?

  17. Total Foot 5

    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

  20. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

  23. Don Kloppeone

    6 years, 7 months ago

    Come on Virg! Repay my faith and delay in getting TAA!!

  24. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Mandatory yc by Xhaka

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      That Emery still starts Xhaka is one reason why I think Emery is a clueless manager.

  25. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Pool cleanie and I’m close to a 100 points this gameweek.

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Very well done

      1. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Lucky this week. Thanks man!

  26. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Dislocated

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Ouch. Get better soon mate

  27. DAZZ
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    How come Robbo leading TAA in the baps race?

    1. yakirh
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Robbo always was BPS machine

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Passes probably or CBI

    3. tambourineman
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      IIRR BPS for assists is 12 and goal for defender is 9.

      1. tambourineman
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Scratch that it's the other way round

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

      Chances created and assists more important than goal for defenders? Trent has winning goal after the game though

  28. SirStevieG
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Abraham injured... scenes

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Serves me right for buying him last night.

      1. Chirsbom
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Same. Raged out Barnes due to possible price rise. Ffs..

  29. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    64% conversion rate for Abraham in last 3 games (11 shots, 8 on target, 7 goals). That is not sustainable.

  30. SouthCoastSaint
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Mcginn, Lundstram, Rico.

    None coming on.

    I win
