Friday night sees league-leaders Arsenal host bottom-of-the-table Southampton as Gameweek 32 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) gets underway.

Kick-off is at 20:00 BST.

There is a huge amount of interest in this match for FPL managers, particularly those who have tripled up on a Free Hit. The good news is that all of the key Arsenal assets start, including Oleksandr Zinchenko, who had been nursing a groin issue. That means Kieran Tierney drops to the bench.

Elsewhere, Granit Xhaka misses out through illness and is replaced in the starting XI by Fabio Vieira, who joins Thomas Partey and Martin Odegaard in the engine room. Further forward, Gabriel Jesus is flanked by Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.

As for Saints, Ruben Selles makes three changes to the side beaten by Crystal Palace in Gameweek 31, as Romain Perraud, Mohamed Elyounoussi and Adam Armstrong come in for Ainsley Maitland-Niles – who is ineligible to face his parent club – Kalmaldeen Sulemana and Joe Aribo.

GAMEWEEK 32 LINE-UPS

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, White, Holding, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Partey, Odegaard, Vieira, Saka, Martinelli, Jesus

      1. Shultan
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Lot of good strikers options this week
        have Jesus/watkins/solanke

        But kane/toney/iask/jota could easily haul

      2. Kevin and Perry go
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Ramsdale for me but yeah same forward options. It’s like the best game you’ve ever played at the same time as the worst. Gonna be a long weekend.

      8. Mirror Man
          2 years, 12 months ago

          That will depend on whether he signs for Utd or not. Sources say likely, so 10.5 at least. 7.5 if not.

          • 12 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

        2. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          • 13 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

      18. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Saka bulked up enough for the commentator to mistake him for Partey

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          Dangerous man to be mistaken for!

        Keeping an Arsenal defender over an attacking triple up continues to haunt. Just couldn’t justify the 2 transfers to fix it
