We have two Double Gameweek 25 matches taking place on Wednesday evening, split over GMT kick-off times of 19:45 and 20:00.

It’s a great opportunity for Arsenal to take advantage of their game in hand and go five points clear of Manchester City, while Everton need a win to escape the relegation zone.

Meanwhile, recent results have put Wolverhampton Wanderers three points above the Toffees, as they prepare to face Liverpool for the fourth time in under two months.

The big news revolves around two popular FPL forwards right now – Darwin Nunez (£8.8m) and Eddie Nketiah (£6.8m). Whilst the Uruguayan starts for Liverpool, an unchanged Arsenal line-up means Nketiah remains on their bench.

It means that Gabriel Martinelli (£6.5m) starts again, alongside the usual Bukayo Saka (£8.5m), Martin Odegaard (£7.0m) and established first-choice defence.

Nunez for Cody Gakpo (£7.8m) is one of six changes made by Jurgen Klopp, with a completely different midfield trio plus the introduction of Kostas Tsimikas (£4.4m) and Ibrahima Konate (£4.8m) for Andrew Robertson (£6.8m) and Joel Matip (£5.9m).

Key players Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.3m) survive the mass rotation.

As for Everton and Wolves, both have made one alteration to their weekend line-ups. Michael Keane (£4.2m) replaces Conor Coady (£4.9m) for the Toffees, whilst Julen Lopetegui brings Joao Moutinho (£4.7m) in for Matheus Cunha (£5.5m).

Hugo Bueno (£3.9m) starts but Nathan Patterson (£3.9m) will not participate at all.

    Are there any fpl implications of Soton losing in the cup? Or did we all just expect them to lose anyway so nothing doing?

    1. Snake Juice

      If Spurs lose today, their fixture against Saints in 28 goes ahead

    Trossard is a better player than Martinelli. When Martinelli receives the ball in that position he takes too many touches and kills the attack. Trossard has the quality to pick the right pass

    Nketiah has never scored a goal coming on as a Arsenal substitute, all his goals have come when he has started. Weird stat that one.

    Could really do with a Pickford penalty save with Odegaard putting in the rebound

  24. The 12th Man

    Patterson might be the best Everton player for this week after all.

    1. Ze_Austin
