Arsenal’s Double Gameweek 26 kicks off with a trip to Brentford this evening.

The match in west London gets underway at 20:00 GMT.

TEAM NEWS

Post-deadline news broke of Kai Havertz being unavailable for Double Gameweek 26 but there’s another unexpected absentee for the Gunners tonight.

William Saliba is absent from the visitors’ matchday squad due to illness, so in comes Cristhian Mosquera at centre-half.

Eberechi Eze is in for Havertz.

The other two alterations see Piero Hincapie oust Riccardo Calafiori at left-back and Viktor Gyokeres return to the starting XI at the expense of Gabriel Jesus.

Despite hobbling off in the closing stages of the win over Sunderland, Leandro Trossard is passed fit to start.

Also back from injury and on the bench, sooner than expected in one case, are Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard.

As for the Bees, there’s just one change.

Yehor Yarmoliuk replaces Jordan Henderson in midfield, with the veteran England international dropping to the bench.

Kevin Schade and Reiss Nelson are suspended and ineligible respectively for tonight’s encounter.

LINE-UPS

Arsenal XI: Raya, Timber, Mosquera, Gabriel, Hincapie, Rice, Zubimendi, Madueke, Eze, Trossard, Gyokeres.

Subs: Arrizabalaga, White, Calafiori, Lewis-Skelly, Norgaard, Odegaard, Martinelli, Saka, Jesus.

Brentford XI: Kelleher, Kayode, Ajer, van den Berg, Henry, Janelt, Yarmoliuk, Jensen, Lewis-Potter, Thiago, Ouattara.

Subs: Valdimarsson, Hickey, Pinnock, Henderson, Collins, Damsgaard, Donovan, Furo, Bentt.

    Arsenal should have scored with a Timber assist there

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      21 days, 22 hours ago

      Martinelli needed to chip that first time

      1. Utopsis
        • 6 Years
        21 days, 21 hours ago

        Not technically capable

  2. Jafooli

    Any chance FPL missed a Rice DC?

    1. Jafooli

      21 days, 22 hours ago

  6. Letsgo!

    Not sure how rice didnt have any bonus for this game

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      21 days, 22 hours ago

      Best player on the pitch today.

  7. Hutchiniho
    • 7 Years
    21 days, 22 hours ago

    How come Gabriel’s points haven’t doubled as my Captain?
    Captain points are usually live.
    Have him sitting on 3.

    1. Letsgo!
      • 9 Years
      21 days, 22 hours ago

      The points dont show but ur total points is factored in

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      21 days, 22 hours ago

      Shows on 6 for me

    3. Koflok
      • 13 Years
      21 days, 22 hours ago

      Maybe he's not your captain

      1. All Hail K
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        21 days, 21 hours ago

        This

  8. Tcheco
    • 8 Years
    21 days, 22 hours ago

    This is it

  9. F4L
    • 11 Years
    21 days, 22 hours ago

    have a shot on target brentford

  10. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    21 days, 22 hours ago

    Ray's third save not given yet, but the ball was 100% going in if he didn't punch it away

    1. Hutchiniho
      • 7 Years
      21 days, 22 hours ago

      Yeah, I thought that should be a save

  11. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    21 days, 22 hours ago

    Raya save!

  12. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    21 days, 22 hours ago

    1-1 FT

  13. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    21 days, 22 hours ago

    Raya save

  14. FPL Brains
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    21 days, 22 hours ago

    If I have to triple up on Arsenal defence and throw captaincy on Gabriel to jinx them into conceding and dropping points, then I gladly will sacrifice my FPL team.

  15. F4L
    • 11 Years
    21 days, 22 hours ago

    stop blocking the shot gabriel!

  16. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    21 days, 22 hours ago

    Is that a Raya save.

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      21 days, 22 hours ago

      doubt it 🙁

  17. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    21 days, 22 hours ago

    Timber turnover with a chance to attack one last time

    Terrible!

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      21 days, 22 hours ago

      Shocking

  18. tbos83
    • 5 Years

    FT

  19. Kane Train
    • 11 Years

    Gabriel triple Captainers welfare check.

    This is what u get for TCing a defender hahaha

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      21 days, 22 hours ago

      16th place and falling is what you get for being a Spurs fan hahaha

      1. Utopsis
        • 6 Years
        21 days, 22 hours ago

        LOL

      2. Kane Train
        • 11 Years
        21 days, 21 hours ago

        I don’t support spurs I just use this photo. Chelsea fan. Club World Cup champions. Cheers bruv

    2. Punned It
        21 days, 22 hours ago

        I'm looking forwards to your TC being subbed for injury after forty mins and a yellow.

        1. Kane Train
          • 11 Years
          21 days, 21 hours ago

          Probably will be in his 2nd game. But will have 3 goals by then

      • Utopsis
        • 6 Years
        21 days, 22 hours ago

        Brave man with one game to go vs Wolves

        1. Kane Train
          • 11 Years
          21 days, 21 hours ago

          If he doesn’t score then it wasn’t worth the chip. Ideally needed 2 clean sheets

          1. Utopsis
            • 6 Years
            21 days, 21 hours ago

            You must have had more success than me with TC in previous years then. If I get 10 points from the chip, I'll take that and run.

      • Gubby-Allen
        • 4 Years
        21 days, 21 hours ago

        It was never this game where his main pointa would come.

        1. Kane Train
          • 11 Years
          21 days, 21 hours ago

          Needed 2 clean sheets for it to be worth using TC unless he scores a goal against Wolves.

    3. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      21 days, 22 hours ago

      Arsenal are bottling the title

      Aren’t they?

      Guehi and Semenyo have transformed City

      1. Gubby-Allen
        • 4 Years
        21 days, 21 hours ago

        How? 7 points from 9.

        City were crap for 80 mins against Liverpool.

    4. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      21 days, 22 hours ago

      Thiago and Dango on WC could be fun

    5. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      21 days, 22 hours ago

      TC Haaland is on

      1. All Hail K
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        21 days, 21 hours ago

        TC Semenyo perhaps?

      2. threeputt
        • 16 Years
        21 days, 21 hours ago

        Semenyo says hi

    6. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      21 days, 22 hours ago

      38 points and a 35% red arrow with TC in play. What a joke this season is. Season unironically over and this time its for real......

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        21 days, 22 hours ago

        Definitely over for me now at 300k, disgusting season

    7. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      21 days, 22 hours ago

      We really are a sad bunch. Looking for save points and def cons just to put up a measly score.

      1. fantasist
        • 15 Years
        21 days, 22 hours ago

        Haha every point matters, same as in the Premier League

    8. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      21 days, 22 hours ago

      As expected, Arsenal are trash

    9. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      21 days, 22 hours ago

      At least Rice defcons

    10. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      21 days, 22 hours ago

      Chaotic match, but entertaining

    11. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      21 days, 22 hours ago

      Timber is useless, Ben White needs to get back in the team.

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        21 days, 22 hours ago

        Blasphemy! Can’t see the woods for the trees!

    12. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      21 days, 22 hours ago

      If Arsenal bottle the title Ill gladly accept the TC fail. Hope they lose against Wolves with a Gabriel TC own goal.

      1. fantasist
        • 15 Years
        21 days, 21 hours ago

        Hope they win it

    13. Deulofail

      Thankfully, Arsenal already won the league last month
