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.

      Try again after the game.

      1. I know nothing
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Ok

    2. GOTHAM City F.C.
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Better. Maybe not Firmino & ward.

      1. I know nothing
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Vardy or wilson?

  7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    The Merseyside Rico taking the corner

  8. Nightcrawler
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Wenger was a lot better than this. Had an awful last 2 seasons but still had more than this arsenal side

  9. La Roja
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Saka subbed

  10. Yank Revolution
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Big save by Kepa

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      My criticism of him partially retracted.

  11. FOO FIGHTER
    7 years, 1 month ago

    TAA is a beast

  12. Rainer
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Trent +BPS

  13. diesel001
    7 years, 1 month ago

    TAA crosses it into Firmino who shoots and Kepa makes a great save,

  14. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Cmon boys! Can get back up the rankings if this goes right!

  15. Don Kloppeone
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Too much to ask for Trent to come off and VVD to get a brace? 😆

    1. Epic Fail
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Nah, it's a fair request.

      1. Don Kloppeone
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Every week kicking myself as in avoiding the hit I’d need to switch them

  16. Rice Krispie
    7 years, 1 month ago

    What do you get when Auba crosses the road?

    Nothing.

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Now I am taking the advise of not bringing Auba in for Kun. Almost pulled the trigger.

      1. Rice Krispie
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Glad i could help

    2. FDMS All Starz
      7 years, 1 month ago

      2pts?

  17. Danstoke82
    7 years, 1 month ago

    TAA looks so dangerous.

  18. The_Fish
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone not got Trent? If not, why not?

    1. Marvin.
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No doubt someone will reply with "not nailed".

      1. diesel001
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Doesn't make sense to me. No top attacking player plays 38 games in a PL season. Most are rotated and play around 32 games.

        Milner lurking.

    2. Rainer
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Heard he’s a rotation risk.

    3. Yank Revolution
      7 years, 1 month ago

      VVD was cheaper

    4. Epic Fail
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He's due a rest.

    5. FDMS All Starz
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Other issues in the team so left Robbo on the team

    6. Don Kloppeone
      7 years, 1 month ago

      O/

      Feel sick about it but just had more vital uses for FTs and hadn’t felt worth a hit to switch VVD for TAA

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Need Trent to return the favour for salah

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      7 years, 1 month ago

      And a cleanie!

  20. GENERATION X
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Firmino looking way more dangerous this season

  21. FDMS All Starz
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Bobby looking more tempting than Son right now...having his best season het

    1. Chirsbom
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Get both

  22. ZeBestee
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Hendo is having a stinker.

  23. Rushford
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Salah is way too often playing as a deep playmaker. Frustrating to watch

    1. ADucksBehind
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Hahahahaha.

  24. diesel001
    7 years, 1 month ago

    TAA offside - negative bps

    1. Rainer
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Mark will look after that.

  25. Brosstan
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Saka bandwagon was short lived.

  26. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Officials are a joke. Let it go and use VAR

    1. Epic Fail
      7 years, 1 month ago

      What's the point in them even being involved in offsides nowadays anyway.

  27. Gobigorgohome
    7 years, 1 month ago

    WTF NOT OFFSIDE

  28. OPTA FPL
    7 years, 1 month ago

    What happened to Arsenal, looking at their XI, only Auba is a star, others are average players even wont get into lower teams

  29. FOO FIGHTER
    7 years, 1 month ago

    So who got rid of TAA. Going to be hard work to get him back...

    1. Chirsbom
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not really. Got founds ITB..

  30. Catastrophe
    7 years, 1 month ago
