Nketiah handed another start up front as Martinez replaces injured Leno

Two Premier League matches kick off simultaneously at 18:00 BST this evening, as Gameweek 31+ heads towards its conclusion.

Southampton play host to Arsenal at St Mary’s, while Burnley enterain Watford at Turf Moor.

Mikel Arteta has made four changes from the side that lost 2-1 to Brighton and Hove Albion, one of which was enforced by injury.

Bernd Leno (£4.9m) may not play again this season and his place between the visitors’ posts is filled by Emiliano Martinez (£4.2m), who makes his first Premier League start since the 2016/17 campaign.

Sead Kolasinac‘s (£5.2m) place at left-back is taken by Kieran Tierney (£5.3m), meanwhile, and the fit-again Granit Xhaka (£5.1m) returns to central midfield to replace Matteo Guendouzi (£4.2m).

Budget Fantasy Premier League forward Eddie Nketiah (£4.4m) is also recalled up front, taking the place of Alexandre Lacazette (£9.3m).

Lacazette and Mesut Ozil (£7.1m) are only among the substitutes.

The Southampton team news is a lot more straightforward, with Ralph Hasenhuttl not making any alterations from the side that defeated Norwich City 3-0 last Friday.

Shane Long (£4.7m) returns from injury on the bench, however.

Danny Ings (£7.2m), the fourth-most-bought FPL asset of Gameweek 31+, gets another run-out up front.

Burnley are also unchanged from Gameweek 30+ but Sean Dyche is at least able to name a full complement of substitutes, with Phil Bardsley (£4.3m) available again.

Nick Pope (£5.0m), the most-owned ‘active’ goalkeeper in FPL, starts in goal as expected.

Nigel Pearson has made two changes to the Watford side that started the 1-1 draw against Leicester on Saturday.

Will Hughes (£5.3m) and Danny Welbeck (£5.8m) start in place of Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.6m) and Roberto Pereyra (£5.6m), who are both benched.

Burnley XI: Pope, Lowton, Mee, Tarkowski, Taylor, Brownhill, Westwood, Cork, McNeil, Rodriguez, Vydra.

Watford XI: Foster, Femenia, Kabasele, Dawson, Masina, Capoue, Hughes, Sarr, Cleverley, Welbeck, Deeney.

Southampton XI: McCarthy, Valery, Stephens, Bednarek, Bertrand, Ward-Prowse, Hojbjerg, Redmond, Armstrong, Obafemi, Ings.

Arsenal XI: Martinez, Bellerin, Mustafi, Holding, Tierney, Pepe, Ceballos, Xhaka, Saka, Nketiah, Aubameyang.

          Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

          What if Lascelles scored from a corner plus got a clean sheet (which was more than possible) and all Nketiah got in this game was a 90th min cameo (again more than possible), we would have been laughing

          Rested for what?

          No one knows what Liverpool will do when title wrapped up. Kids will probably get more mins, but with no pressure it could it go either way (score more / drop off the pace)
