The penultimate match of Gameweek 27 kicks off at 16:30 GMT, with Arsenal entertaining Everton at the Emirates.

Mikel Arteta has made only one alteration to his Arsenal side from the one that thrashed Newcastle United 4-0 last weekend, with Sead Kolasinac (£5.2m) replacing Bukayo Saka (£4.5m) at left-back.

That means that there is no place in the hosts’ starting XI for Alexandre Lacazette (£9.3m), who again begins this match on the bench.

Eddie Nketiah (£4.3m) gets his second successive league start, with Nicolas Pepe (£9.2m), Mesut Ozil (£7.2m) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m) joining him in attack.

Carlo Ancelotti has made five changes from the side that beat Crystal Palace a fortnight ago, with three of the alterations coming in defence: Mason Holgate (£4.5m), Djibril Sidibe (£5.2m) and Leighton Baines (£4.9m) replacing Seamus Coleman (£5.3m), Michael Keane (£5.2m) and Lucas Digne (£5.8m).

Digne isn’t even on the bench, with the French left-back missing out because of a minor injury.

Ancelotti said ahead of kick-off:

He had a little problem during the week, he tried to train yesterday but he was not confident and so I prefer to leave him at home to train, to be ready for the next game.

The injured Theo Walcott (£6.2m) and the benched Bernard (£6.4m) are replaced by Alex Iwobi (£5.6m) and Fabian Delph (£5.3m) in midfield.

Andre Gomes (£5.2m) is involved in Everton’s matchday squad for the first time in three months after recovering from ankle surgery, meanwhile.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.2m) and Richarlison (£8.2m), transferred in by a combined 378,000 FPL managers ahead of Gameweek 27, both start up front.


Arsenal XI: Leno, Bellerin, Mustafi, Luiz, Kolasinac, Ceballos, Xhaka, Pepe, Ozil, Nketiah, Aubemeyang

Everton XI: Pickford, Sidibe, Holgate, Mina, Baines, Schneiderlin, Delph, Iwobi, Sigurdsson, Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison.

        Xhaka.

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
        6 years, 5 months ago

        He was on, there was an arsenal player all the way by throw in line

          6 years, 5 months ago

      3. squits
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

      4. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        He was onside. Xhaka by the touchline keeping him on.

      5. Maddi Son
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Nah 100% onside, not even 99%

    Selling Auba for Jimi worked out well I see

  4. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Sitter 🙁

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

  5. Chucky

  6. Deulofail

    Saka is scripted

  7. Hands Guber
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Benched Traore for all his points-played him for all his 1 pointers. Misery owning that guy especially having benched DCL this week and him nearly having a second goal just now. Can’t watch, cowboys!

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Happy trails Hans!

    Getting too greedy as a DCL and Rich owner - both so close to major hauls

    1. RyanKent14
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I have DCL Rich and Auba playing

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years

        K

  9. Aftermath
    • 10 Years

    Damn, would've been a good week to BB with McCarthy, Taylor and greenwood on bench

  10. rnrd

    6 years, 5 months ago

    How does the bps calculation system make the difference between a SOT and a missed opportunity (even if it’s a SOT) ?

    1. fusen
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      If you mean what is the difference between a SOT and a 'big chance missed', that is up to Opta whether they thought the missed shot was an easy goal or not.

      Missing a big chance is -3
      SOT is -1

  12. jimmy.floyd
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Which one has to go first?
    A Traore
    B Grealish

    1. One for All
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      B

    2. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      B

    3. II CAZORLA II
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Traore for sure because of his rotation risk alone.

  13. el polako
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Siggy is shite, so many bad passes from someone who ia wearing #10 is unacceptable.

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Such a shame. Was a quality player but now looks poor

  14. Polar_Bear
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Hendo (GK) out? Best replacement?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      On form? Pope.
      On fixtures? Pope.
      On total score? Pope.

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Agreed, but Burnley were very lucky yesterday.

        1. Polar_Bear
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          You think Burnley fixtures are good?... Spurs is probably not as daunting as in paper

  15. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Lundstram > Hanley (0.1m off anyone decent)
    Grealish > Fernandes

    2FT

  19. Maddi Son
