Aubameyang and Lacazette paired up front as Ozil returns

Two Premier League matches kick off at 16:00 BST on Sunday afternoon.

Arsenal play the first of two Double Gameweek 35 fixtures, with Crystal Palace the visitors to the Emirates.

Liverpool, meanwhile, are in action against a Cardiff City side that has lost all ten of their meetings with “big six” sides in 2018/19.

There are no great shocks in Jurgen Klopp’s starting XI, with their most-popular Fantasy assets all in the visitors’ line-up.

Andrew Robertson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip and Virgil van Dijk make up a familiar-looking back four, while Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah are once again selected up front.

Georginio Wijnaldum for Fabinho is Klopp’s only alteration from Gameweek 34.

Neil Warnock has named an unchanged team for the visit of Liverpool.

Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are included in the same starting XI for only the second time in nine Premier League games.

Aaron Ramsey misses out with a hamstring injury so Mesut Ozil lines up in “the hole” behind Arsenal’s strike pair.

Sead Kolasinac is also included as Emery rolls out a 3-4-1-2, with Carl Jenkinson getting a rare start on the opposite flank.

Patrick van Aanholt, Andros Townsend and Michy Batshuayi are among the substitutes for Palace, with Joel Ward handed a recall at full-back.

Arsenal XI (3-4-1-2): Leno, Mustafi, Koscielny, Mavropanos, Jenkinson, Guendouzi, Elneny, Kolasinac, Özil, Lacazette, Aubameyang.

Crystal Palace XI (4-4-2): Guaita, Ward, Kelly, Dann, Wan-Bissaka, McArthur, Milivojevic, Kouyaté, Meyer, Zaha, Benteke.

Cardiff City XI (4-2-3-1): Etheridge, Peltier, Morrison, Ecuele Manga, Bennett, Gunnarsson, Ralls, Hoilett, Camarasa, Mendez-Laing, Niasse.

Liverpool XI (4-3-3): Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Keita, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

    They dont get a lot fo the ball, but Cardiff looking more dangerous in attack then Liverpool at the moment. Morisson and Peltier especiellt doing a job.
