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.

    That assist was worth 13.2m

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Hahahaha!

  2. Bubz

    Another Salah dive?

    1. Licky
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Nah, blatant penalty.

    2. Vlad Tepes
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yes, suspend him it is not the first time

    3. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yep

    4. King Carlos
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      No way, both hands around Mo

    5. tm245

      No, thrown to the ground like a rag doll, though he didn't resist.

  3. Vlad Tepes
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    When will Salah be suspended for diving seriously

    1. TorresMagic™

      It's not rugby.

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Morrison was asking for that to be given

    3. Yank Revolution

      You can't hug your opponent in the box, simple.

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Where is the love?

    4. Torres76
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Hands all over Salah

    5. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Diving? Down was the only availabe place to go. His arms were almost 360 around him.

    6. MrZ
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      His gesture is certainly diving.
      But he's a pool player, the media darling team who haven't win the league for a loooong time. No chance for a booking.

    7. Deulofail

      Arsenal's main transfer priority should be securing the sale of Shkodran Mustafi.

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Oops. Reply fail

      2. fedolefan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Yep, just hopeless and spreads panic all over.

  4. Cok3y5murf

    Salah doing what he does best

    1. LarryDuff
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Possible back to back golden boot winner, dope

  5. El-Kloppico
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    That Milner celebration..

  6. tm245
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Love that his goal celebration is that of a boring old man with a bad back.

  7. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Hames, Hames, Hames! Better to miss and burn Salah assist.

  8. Torres76
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Cmon you Mersey Reds!

  9. tucaoneo
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Milner: I don't play a lot of minutes, but I'm there whenever there's a penalty.

  10. pjomara

    Man U v Man City the title decider.

    1. Licky
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Brighton might be desperate on the last day...

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Man U gonna get trounced

    3. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Thats probably City’s easiest game

    4. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Lol. Leicester will offer better chance than Utd imo. Utd are playing championship level

  11. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Folks with Mane and a LFC defender...

    Assuming you're bringing in a 3rd 'Pool asset, who'll it be, and why?

    A) Salah
    B) Firmino
    C) Another defender

    Common think seems to be A for triple-captain purposes, but is he really justifying 13m right now?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Possibly B for Vardy but not sure

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Could be good but Vardy playing against this Arsenal defence...

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Only matters next GW for now.

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        What does that mean

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          The 13m+ value.

    3. Miniboss
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I'm bringing in TAA (got Robbo & Mane)

    4. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      C

      Don't wanna rip the team up to fit a 13m player in. I'd need to be losing one of Aguero or Sterling

      1. MGD
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Same.

    5. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      B possibly

    6. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I've got Mane, Robbo and TAA. One week it's Robbo assist, the other it's TAA.

    7. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      TC Mane

    8. SweeSwee
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      C

      Actually considering TC on Robbo or TAA

    9. Zen_Master
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Double up on Liverpool defenders.

  12. Miniboss
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Come on Palace, one more sweet goal

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      would be nice for those not with arsenal defenders

  13. El-Kloppico
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Is that only for Salah that this place go bersek? Its clear penalty. Not like the dive from Kane, Bernardo and Pogba lately

  14. Bruce Lee
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Mo Salah 6 pt haul

    1. Garlana
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      13m for one assist Vs Cardiff, bargain

      1. Bruce Lee
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        13.2

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        That's why we pay the 3m more than Salah.

        1m per extra point

        ... on occasion 🙁

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago
