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.

    It's like people forget Chelsea are actually a good team.

      Got to question any team who gets destroyed by united

        1st game of the season with a new manager & half a new team, more or less.

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee

      Its like you forget Hazard was involved in 50% of their goals. Also, not keeping those CS anymore...

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Liverpool defence has been shaky

      Expected. Why did everyone buy him before this game. He went up 0.2m right before playing Liverpool. The bandwagoners are insane.

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

        Ridiculous

      2. Sim Simma

        Long term planning

      3. Epic Fail
        7 years, 1 month ago

        They bought him because he was going up and that made him go up.

  4. how now brown cow

    What happened to Alonso? Doesn't have the same killer instinct anymore

    1. how now brown cow
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Steady

    I'm pushing 100 this week. Another goal from Pepe or Wesley and I've made it. Unreal considering my captain didn't start.

    1. Jolly Good
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Congrats ... I was almost there before pool lost their CS

    2. OPTA FPL

    3. sminkypinky
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Great. I was until Che goal. Now need Salah or TAA attacking points.

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

        9 attacking points not enough?!

        1. sminkypinky
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Umm... not for my century

    1. Marvin.
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He's more of a joker if you ask me.

      1. Marvin.
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Tough crowd.

      2. Yank Revolution
        7 years, 1 month ago

        He's the striker Chelsea deserves

  11. Rainer
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Tammy might be getting a flag.

  12. Stoic
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Arsenal don't deserve Guendouzi

  13. FPL Scoop

    7 years, 1 month ago

    I’ll keep Barnes another week. Not liking the hit

  14. Peter Ouch
    7 years, 1 month ago

  15. g40steve
    7 years, 1 month ago

    1. how now brown cow
      7 years, 1 month ago

      1. g40steve
        7 years, 1 month ago

  16. Danstoke82
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Did Tammy look like he was grimacing a bit when coming off?

    1. Mr Peanutbutter
      7 years, 1 month ago

      probably questioning franks decision to take him off

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      7 years, 1 month ago

      He'll be ok in a week.

  17. THE Wild Rover
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Poor Mark? He’s made a small fortune out of this, the rest of us have to watch our fails for nothing

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He obviously loves us all as seen by the amount of times he's visited since selling

    2. Peter Ouch
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Well done to him, poor us

    3. Flycroft
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      How could you know that?

      1. THE Wild Rover
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I’m his accountant

  18. Nightcrawler
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Tammy looked injured in the previous 10 mins

  19. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    7 years, 1 month ago

    We all need a Salah goal, Trent assist, Mount goal

  20. Pedram
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Tammy or Mount pls do something

    1. dark91
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Tammy is subbed

    2. THE Wild Rover
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Well Tammy just got subbed

    3. Fred54
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Amazed if Tammy scores now....

    4. Freaki
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I’m sure Tammy can do stuff on the bench

  21. La Roja
    7 years, 1 month ago

    This game needs a Mount goal

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

      It does indeed. Then a winner from Mo

    2. diesel001
      7 years, 1 month ago

      *TAA

    3. beric
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Ennit though

  22. Rice Krispie
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling to Kante?

  23. TheTinman
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Tammy clearly had a knock when he came off there.

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

      Week to rest up. Won't be risked vs. Grimsby midweek.

  24. diesel001
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Keita better than Fabinho IMO.

    1. Rainer
      7 years, 1 month ago

      LOL

      1. diesel001
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Easily. Look at the CS record when Fabinho plays 60 mins+ vs Keita 60 mins+

        Keita's mobility and intensity in the midfield makes a massive difference. Fabinho struggles to turn.

    2. Fred54
      7 years, 1 month ago

      These are non-FPL type players, we don't talk about those here.

  25. Nightcrawler
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Where is giroud? Plays well when he comes on late

  26. Rolls-Royce
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Tammy prolly did his hammy

    1. Butcher
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Ban this fool

    2. Grand Thibauto
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Don't spread bs rumors

  27. WVA
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Geundouzi on my bench outscoring Mane Mount and James FFS

  28. how now brown cow
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Cant believe auba blanks today. Laffable.

    1. have you seen cyan
      7 years, 1 month ago

      irk pathetic, and Pepe taking the pen is just wow

  29. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Haller, Tammy, Pukki forward line not looking quite as good now

    1. Flynny
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Why?

      1. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Because none of them did anything of note

  30. AC Pilkington

    My captain fails this season have been almost remarkable:

    Salah vs Southampton = fail
    Kane vs Newcastle = fail
    Sterling vs Brighton = fail
    Sterling vs Norwich = fail
    Auba vs Aston Villa = nearly fail
