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.

        Jinxing is not a thing and never has been

    Second time Mendez lang has killed tAA!

    1. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      insane,with ball faster than TAA

  11. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Klopp needs to protect the right hand side. Mendez-Laing is quicker than TAA so TAA is losing every foot race.

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      What about Egg and spoon?

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Loses that too. Mendez-Laing not really showing any skill. Just punting the ball down the line and outpacing TAA.

  12. IRBOX ⚽

    TAA getting rinsed here

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      That's what happens when you give a player who is quicker than you space.

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Space is ok against a quicker man but you cannot let them get goal side by any means

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years

      New Moreno

  13. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    God knows why I brought Kola in. I think it's because he had 'attacking potential...' 😐

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years

      I had Leno and kola in my initial wc draft then had a word with myself

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        You are obviously a very wise person.

        1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 12 months ago

          Yep reflected in the awesome season I'm having
          It was a luck break

  14. El-Kloppico
    • 8 Years

    Get TAA out plz.. Joe smiling from the bench.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Don't think that works. Gomez won't be quicker than Mendez-Laing. Needs Henderson to sit in front of TAA to protect him.

      1. Mysterion
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        See below, Jafooli's solved it...

    At this rate will surely be subbed off at half time

  16. micsway

    1. The Ejiptian King

      Off at 60, just in time for a Camarasa screamer.

  18. Jafooli

    Do not hook TAA Klopp.....just push him forward, get Gomez on and take Salah off...

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      This would be nice 🙂

    2. Differential C (Mark)

      Not a bad idea in all seriousness.

    LMS safety score currently 42.

    1. Zilla
      • 6 Years

      Was out last GW but wondered what will happen the next few GWs, will be a cup competition right?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        No, about 20 this week, top 4 or equal next GW, then winner with overall rank the tiebreaker in GW37.

        1. Zilla
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 12 months ago

          Ah, thanks for doing it. Really enjoyed it.

    Mamga/Bennett pocketing Salah at the moment.

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I see your name everywhere rn. Do FFS pay you to comment the game?

      Just joking...

      1. Differential C (Mark)

        Hah, I'm just very passionate lol. No offense taken.

    A red or minor injury to Salah now, and our last chip/TC is ruined too...

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      It's like he's the only player worthy of the TC chip.

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Not, but many has planned it next week. Think we should use it soon not to risk even more rotation at the last couple of games of the season

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 12 months ago

          It's at least a hit for most.

    Ecuele-Manga man marking Salah, following him wherever he goes.

    Working so far. Mo very restricted.

    1. Garlana
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I remember Stoke doing this to Salah, man marked him out of the game.

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Man-marking is a great tactic IMO. Especially if the opponent you are marking is slower than you (not the case here). Shame it has gone out of the game.

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Man Utd players man marked each other for 90mins earlier...

    Kola has been a waste of space

      Oh don’t say that, need a haul...

    Have a feeling a pool goal will open the floodgates.
