Arsenal entertain Fulham in the seventh and final Premier League match of the day, with kick-off at the Emirates at 17:30 BST.

Mikel Arteta has made his first two starting XI changes of the season and they’re both enforced due to injury.

Oleksandr Zinchenko and Thomas Partey both reportedly picked up problems in Friday’s final pre-match training session, so are replaced by Kieran Tierney and Mohamed Elneny in the Gunners’ line-up.

The injury to Zinchenko, the fourth most-owned defender in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), doesn’t sound too serious, at least:

“Oleksandr Zinchenko is left out as a precaution due to a slight sprain to the left knee. Thomas Partey misses out due to a tight right thigh from Friday’s training session. Both will continue to be assessed.” – Arsenal medical update

Marco Silva’s one and only change is also linked to fitness, as it involves a player coming back from the treatment table.

Neeskens Kebano is passed fit after recovering from a groin strain and replaces budget FPL forward Jay Stansfield out wide.


GAMEWEEK 4 LINE-UPS

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, Tierney, White, Gabriel, Saka, Odegaard, Jesus, Martinelli, Saliba, Elneny, Xhaka.

      Lmfao

    2. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Lol

    3. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I have Mount. I’m pretty average.

    4. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Sanchez too. Sanchez haul with BP

      1. Herger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        And Trent? How does he know?

    5. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Does he have Firmino though?

    6. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I’m sore him and thousands of others have too. I’m not one of them unfortunately

  4. Zalk
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    As a Zinchenko owner, a goal involvmenet from Pereirra is too much to ask for?

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      That would be taking the p1ss

    2. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I’m expecting a hat trick from him

    3. Athletico Underachieving
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      This is where I’m at! C’mon Andreas

  5. PogChamp
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Any Sterling owners considering swapping for Diaz?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If you own Sterling, and he finally scores. Even a brace. Why would any one sell now?

      1. PogChamp
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I think Diaz will be more consistent and it free's up £2m. I won't be doing it myself, just asking the question.

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Could be. But I would hold Sterling at least for a week.

    2. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Nope. He won’t play Bournemouth every week that’s for sure

    3. Red Red Robins
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If you can afford Sterling, you surely cant sell now?
      Liverpool got Newcastle next

    4. ahak9
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If you have Salah then keep imo. Chelsea is only going to get better with kova back and the arrival of fofana, which means James is confirmed on the rb/rwb position. Therefore, the crosses will be coming in for Sterling to pounce.

      1. PogChamp
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Good points. I'm not a Salah owner.

  6. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Martinelli regression begins.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Just in time I get him in

    2. InVinceible
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yepppp. Rodrigo too.

    3. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      As expected

  7. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Sanchez on 2 BP. Unbelievable

    3. Botman and Robben

    4. Planet Jo
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

    5. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I’ll take Raya’s two bp’s thanks

  8. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Groß has more goals than all of last season.

    1. Planet Jo
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He's certainly got more than Salah this season

  9. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Saka denied.

    Time for Tomiyasu to come back into the team.

  19. keefy59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 8 months ago

    With the Zinc injury I'm on Saliba watch tonight
    I wouldn't consider it a sideways move as it puts money into my squad
    Also gives me a team of the season player with more bap potential when Arsenal keep clean sheets .
    Salah to KdB (Forest H ) was my planned transfer but it can wait .

  20. InsertPunHere
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone fancy betting big on Newcastle 0-0 Liverpool next week and benching Salah?

    1. Chalobah's Witness
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Newcastle will beat us next week. It's been in my urine all day long, as we use to say here in Germany.

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years

      No thanks

  21. The Legend Squad
    • 11 Years

    1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      1 poacher goal from 2yards, 1 header from Foden cross, 1 goal running the channel for a Gundo pass and holding off the defender. Showed all is qualities

      1. The Legend Squad
        • 11 Years

    Pool should’ve kept Mane and sold Salah

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Mane was the better player last year… No doubt

    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    After the forest game, want to get off from the city double defense

    Who would you sell ?

    A) Ederson:

    Chepeast route into city defense in terms of nailedness, if Cancelo isn't getting many attacking returns.

    B) Cancelo:

    Might downgrade to Perisic or Trippier

  27. InsertPunHere
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    City fans/watchers, has there been some kind of tactical tweak vis a vis Cancelo’s attacking contributions and positioning? Only hauled against Bournemouth, and I’m getting worried.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah, sitting deeper, more infield.

    2. InsertPunHere
      • 3 Years

      Should probably repost this after the game, shouldn’t I?

      1. Pukki Party
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Well yeah if Paulinha got his for the tackle and Jesus for boiling?

  30. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Jesus owner (non-captain), that YC hardly changes anything.
