Eddie Nketiah (£4.3m) makes an immediate return to the Arsenal team following his Gameweek 34+ suspension.

The young striker last a matter of minutes in the 1-1 draw with Leicester, in which he was sent off shortly after taking to the field as a substitute.

With that three-match ban out of the way, Mikel Arteta has thrown him back into the side for his first Premier League appearance since then.

Nketiah is joined in the attack by Arsenal’s key attackers Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m) and Alexandre Lacazette (£9.2m), who start together again for the first time since the Gameweek 35+ defeat at Spurs.

As has become usual, Arteta has lined his troops up in 3-4-3 formation, Bukayo Saka (£4.7m) and Cédric Soares (£4.8m) providing the width as wing-backs on this occasion.

Aston Villa line-up in their customary 4-3-3 formation, Jack Grealish (£5.9m) and Trézéguet (£5.2m) flanking Mbwana Samatta (£5.1m) in attack.

With Watford losing heavily against Manchester City, Dean Smith’s men may have half an eye on goal difference, as they currently share the same figure (-27) with the Hornets and are three points adrift of safety.

Aston Villa XI: Reina; Targett, Mings, Konsa, Elmohamady; Hourihane, D Luiz, McGinn; Grealish, Samatta, Trézéguet.

Arsenal XI: Martínez; Kolasinac, D Luiz, Holding; Saka, Torreira, Ceballos, Cédric; Aubameyang, Lacazette, Nketiah.

      2. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years

        Auba cap?

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Ha ha. I have Dunk who is going to score 2 goals.

    3. Zen_Master
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Nah the Pope going for that golden globe.

  4. WVA
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Was Walker withdrawn early for a rest?

    1. Tinkermania
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Pep is not here to answer that question. 😉

  5. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Vardy to Kane or Auba and captain?

    1. EL tridente
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Going Kane. Palace defence is really bad

  6. Mr. O'Connell
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Martinez 60 mins

  7. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    I know DCL has been shite but he might be a decent differential on Sunday.

    Any takers?

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Never ever again

    2. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Steer.

      Well.

      Clear.

    3. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Hell no.

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Ancelotti said Moise Kean will start (if fit). I assumed that would be instead of DCL but Kean could be on the right.

    5. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      No way as Bournemouth be well up for this

    6. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      No Everton thank you very much.

    7. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Wilson better one i guess ??
      Bournemouth needs points

    8. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Ha. Nice try.

    9. The Train Driver
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Why?

    10. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Never in a million years! I fancy Bounremouth beating them actually.

  8. Old Bull
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Doherty to Mendy, is my preferred uninspiring transfer. Yea or nay?

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Nay

    2. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Nope.

    3. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Nay

    4. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Mendy might not play, Cancelo was pretty good down the left today.

      1. Old Bull
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 5 days ago

        Pep said he wants to give all his players pitch time in the last few games.

    5. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Not the worst pick. If there is one defender I'd get from City it's Mendy.

      1. Old Bull
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        And yet at the back of my mind I’m thinking football being in the habit of viciously producing the unexplained, could result in Norwich scoring

  9. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    £5.1m for a defender who isn’t Burnley or Aurier. Best pick?

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Eric Garcia

      1. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 days ago

        Reckon Ota more likely to start?

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 4 days ago

          I think it'll be the team that plays R Madrid.

      2. Feed tha Sheep
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        Can’t see him starting he seems to start every other gane

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      I punted Dunk and so far, so good.

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Bertrand?

    4. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Saints defender like Stephens or Walker-Peters

    5. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Stephens

    6. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Sidibé

      1. FOO FIGHTER

      Branthwaite Eve, cheap as

    8. waltzingmatildas
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Dawson?

    9. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      KWP? Bertrand? Holding, maybe?

    10. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Braithwaite / Sidibe ?

  10. Random Name
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Nketiah is the English Sanogo

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      What does that make Lacazette?

      1. The Red Devil
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 5 days ago

        French Defoe?

  11. The Train Driver
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Auba just showed us why he only has 2 assists this season...

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Doesn't have ginger pubes?

  12. DAZZ
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Ill probably bench Doherty against Chelsea, is that daft? Don’t see how double Wolves for me will work against Chelsea

    1. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Doherty has scored against Chelsea before

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      I am playing both Patricio and Doherty.

    3. Old Bull
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      I’m thinking the same

    4. Easy Cheesy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Who is your other wolves? I’d bench whoever they are

    5. Benjustjamin
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Bench him daz

  13. JabariParkersEyelid
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    This week is killing me. Can the below free hit drag me back up to top 50k? Looking at about 10 point defecit maybe.

    McCarthy
    Pieters Bardsley Aurier (Braithwaite bwill)
    Salah Sterling (c) Mahrez Dilva Martial
    Kane Auba (nketiah)

    1. Benjustjamin

    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Which team would you like to see go down?
    Bournemouth
    Watford
    John Terry

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Spurs

      1. syke63
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 5 days ago

        Should have said this year but your answer is correct too.

    2. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Watford

    3. Greek Freak
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Easy, Watford.

    4. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Watford, don't deserve to stay up sacking manager with 2 games left.

    5. Assisting the assister
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Leeds

      1. Jimmers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 5 days ago

      6 years, 5 days ago

      Watford

    7. Assisting the assister
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Only joking - great to see Leeds back. Horrible for any of these clubs to have to go down.

  16. FFSbet.com
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    Not convinced with Auba + Antonio on FH,Watford and Villa will fight hard in those games,

    Auba + Antonio > Son + Ings ?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      100 % no for me

  17. Nomar
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 5 days ago

    I'm nervous every time Arsenal go forward and I'm not even a Villa fan or got any Villa players in my FPL team.

    Goodness knows what this is like for Villa fans...

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 days ago

      Villa fan, genuinely can't bear to watch.

      1. syke63
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 5 days ago

        Same from an Arsenal fan.

        1. Greek Freak
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 5 days ago

          I'm an Arsenal fan but I wouldn't mind losing to Villa and then ensuring Watford go down.

      2. Nomar
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 5 days ago

        Been there with QPR the season we stayed up on the last day.
