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

Subs: Turner, Tierney, Smith Rowe, Nketiah, Kiwior, Trossard, Jorginho, Nelson, Walters

Subs: McCarthy, Lyanco, Caleta-Car, Aribo, Orsic, Onuachu, S Armstrong, Sulemana, Diallo

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

      Whole defence has been crap

    2. JBG

    3. Rainer

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

      Whole defence been poor

    6. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Holding compared to brilliant Saliba - Arsenal now letting in goals - a mistake in Holding each game

  8. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Arsenal's final balls tonight are horrendous

  9. Original Sin
    • 11 Years

        Are you seeking, or offering, forgiveness for an original sin?

      3. Amartey Partey

    Triple ars attack v bottom team going well!

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      I mean, swerving the defence was the right call....

      1. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        True

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

    Shame for league / Arsenal this really. Shows how hard it is to win it though. Squad depth the issue surely. Saliba and Xhaka were pretty key clearly

    1. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Party off from post injury as well

      Yep, you can't expect a CS rn whatever the bookies say

  13. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years

    This game requires ESR and/or Nketiah

  14. Andy_Social
