Gameweek 28 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues on Sunday with Watford v Arsenal at Vicarage Road.

Kick-off is at 14:00 GMT.

Watford are without Ismaila Sarr and Josh King, both of whom miss out through hamstring injuries, although the latter is deemed ‘precautionary’ by the club.

As a result, Cucho Hernandez and Joao Pedro join Emmanuel Dennis up front in Roy Hodgson’s 4-3-3 formation.

Elsewhere, full-back Kiko Femenia returns to the starting XI in place of Jeremy Ngakia (hamstring), having missed the game at Old Trafford last weekend with a minor issue.

For the visitors, Emile Smith Rowe is out with Covid while Takehiro Tomiyasu has failed to recover from a calf injury.

That means Mikel Arteta names an unchanged XI, with popular picks Aaron Ramsdale and Bukayo Saka featuring from the off.

GAMEWEEK 28 LINE-UPS

Watford XI: Foster, Femenia, Cathcart, Samir, Kamara, Louza, Sissoko, Cleverley, Hernandez, Pedro, Dennis

Subs: Bachmann, Etebo, Masina, Sema, Kabasele, Kalu, Sierralta, Kucka, Kayembe

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, Cedric, White, Gabriel, Tierney, Partey, Xhaka, Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli, Lacazette

Subs: Leno, Holding, Pepe, Tavares, Lokonga, Elneny, Nketiah, Swanson, Hutchinson

Had Saka in my WC team, but took out for Wiillock to afford Coutinho to Jota GW29. Jota not sure starter. Lost 9k places already today. Oh the joys!

  This what Foster does when I play him, pen saves and double digit hauls only when benched

We didn’t buy Lacassist for his goals anyway.

What a bench boost this is turning out to be!

With each passing game I'm closer to realisation that I didn't really even need to use my wildcard. I was just hotheaded after wasted free hit on Burnley, United and City assets. Then temptation of DGW did the rest. So annoyed with myself I can't even enjoy the game like usually...

That goal should be disallowed since Arteta was out of technical area when he gave the ball to Saka. No goal, YC for Arteta.
