FPL Gameweek 37 team news, injury updates and predicted line-ups

We’ve got all the key team news and injury updates from all the Premier League pre-match press conferences ahead of Double Gameweek 37.

It’s a big round, containing 12 matches, five teams playing twice and a blank for Manchester United. Only one manager spoke to the media on Thursday – Newcastle United‘s Eddie Howe. Ralph Hasenhuttl won’t hold a presser before the deadline because Southampton aren’t in action until Tuesday.

Furthermore, it is currently unknown when Arsenal‘s Mikel Arteta will face the media, as the Gunners only played last night and won’t again until Monday.

For much more detailed information, check out our Predicted Line-ups page and Injuries and Bans feed.

A round-up with Az and Neale can also be viewed below:

GAMEWEEK 37 TEAM NEWS – FRIDAY

LIVERPOOL

Speaking ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup final against Chelsea, Jurgen Klopp only passed comment on Fabinho‘s hamstring injury. The rest of his squad is available, including Roberto Firmino (foot).

“He will definitely be back for the Champions League final, before we will see. We don’t know.” – Jurgen Klopp on Fabinho

CHELSEA

For the Blues, Callum Hudson-Odoi (Achilles) and Ben Chilwell (knee) remain injured, although there is a chance that both Mateo Kovacic (ankle) and N’Golo Kante (knock) will make the Wembley showpiece.

“There is no new injury but heavy pain and was heavily swollen. We’re hoping that maybe time is enough, that he makes it. We will try in training and then we will know more about it.” – Thomas Tuchel on Mateo Kovacic

MANCHESTER CITY

Back to Premier League action, Pep Guardiola will make a late decision on whether Aymeric Laporte can play. A rough challenge from Raul Jimenez hurt the centre-back’s knee but the situation isn’t helped by the other defensive injuries to Ruben Dias (hamstring), Kyle Walker (ankle) and John Stones (muscle). The trio will miss the season’s final days. There is also doubt over Fernandinho (muscle).

“[Laporte] is in treatment, two days. We will see tomorrow, which players can play on Sunday. Until the day of the game we will not be able to decide.” – Pep Guardiola

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR

Antonio Conte’s post-match quotes were embargoed from last night. Upon release, he has revealed that Cristian Romero missed out with a hip injury, joining Sergio Reguilon (groin), Matt Doherty (knee), Japhet Tanganga (knee) and Oliver Skipp (groin) in the treatment room.

“Sergio [Reguilon] is out and not available for the rest of the season as there are 10 days left. It’s the same for Romero, he’s not available because he received a hit on his hip at the end of the game v Liverpool.”

Additionally, Conte reassured fans that neither Son Heung-min nor Dejan Kulusevski‘s second-half substitutions were due to injury.

“I wanted to give him and Deki [Dejan Kulusevski] a bit of rest because on Sunday it will be a sporting war. So to rest players for 20 to 25 minutes was important for us.”

ASTON VILLA

Steven Gerrard doesn’t think Ollie Watkins‘ ankle issue is problematic but admits he hasn’t trained since the midweek defeat to Liverpool. With mid-table security going into these final two Gameweeks, it’s hard to say how many minutes the forward will play.

At least their cheap midfielder Jacob Ramsey (knock) is back for the Double Gameweek against Crystal Palace and Burnley, although Leon Bailey (ankle) and Kortney Hause (abdominal) are out.

“Ollie [Watkins] hasn’t trained yet since the game but he’s still got a chance to be involved. We’re hoping he’s going to take part in tomorrow’s session. He’s got a knock on his ankle. I don’t think it’s too serious. All being well, he’ll be available. Jacob [Ramsey] is back in the group, he’s trained for the last couple of days and is looking good. So, that’s a big positive for us. Buendía left training yesterday but [worked] today.”

EVERTON

Heavy investment has gone into Everton assets for a pair of home matches against Brentford and Crystal Palace. Fabian Delph (muscle) has been added to their injury list, which also contains Yerry Mina (calf), Andros Townsend (knee) and Nathan Patterson (ankle).

Either Sunday or Thursday should see a return for both Donny van de Beek (groin) and Ben Godfrey (thigh).

“Fabian [Delph] won’t be fit for the game against Brentford, we’ll see for the rest of the season. It’s a small muscle injury. Ben Godfrey is very close, he’s possibly going to be in the squad. Donny van de Beek is getting closer, I’d like to think he might be involved on Sunday – if not, on Thursday.” – Frank Lampard

WEST HAM UNITED

David Moyes says that Said Benrahma is doubtful, after following up his two goals at Norwich City by hurting his ankle. With Angelo Ogbonna (knee) a long-term absentee, the only other injury-related news from Moyes is that Michail Antonio (knock) and Craig Dawson (calf) should be fine to play.

“Saïd [Benrahma] is a bit of a question mark. He’s out doing some light jogging so maybe not as bad as we thought, but I’m not quite sure if he’s fit. We’ll see tomorrow. It’s an ankle injury.”

LEEDS UNITED

Both Double Gameweek 36 outings brought a red card for Leeds United, with Luke Ayling and Daniel James both suspended for the weekend. There is good news for Raphinha and Jack Harrison, as they should be passed fit to face Brighton and Hove Albion.

The season is over for Stuart Dallas (leg), Adam Forshaw (knee), Tyler Roberts (hamstring) and Crysencio Summerville (ankle) but possibly not for Patrick Bamford (foot).

“Jack Harrison, with the contusion, looks positive, like he should be in training tomorrow and be ready to go. Raphinha is fine. Patrick Bamford – it’s a little bit too early to tell where he’s at” – Jesse Marsch

BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION

Their opponents should have the same group available as last Saturday’s 4-0 win over Manchester United. That means Jakub Moder (knee) is out and it’s probably the same for Enock Mwepu (groin) and Jeremy Sarmiento (hamstring).

“Enock [Mwepu] did a little bit today but Sunday will come too soon. Jeremy [Sarmiento] is making progress but I think we will have the same group as we had against Manchester United.” – Graham Potter

WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS

Max Kilman (knee) is expected to return for the start of next season, whilst Nelson Semedo (hamstring) has undergone successful surgery that should also heal by August. Meanwhile, Daniel Podence (foot) is unlikely to take part against Norwich, with Romain Saiss (knock) also missing.

LEICESTER CITY

Very little to report from Brendan Rodgers, who expects Wesley Fofana (calf) to return at Watford on Sunday. Just like before, the main injuries are to Wilfred Ndidi (knee), Ricardo Pereira (thigh) and Ryan Bertrand (knee).

BURNLEY

Matej Vydra managed to play 60 minutes at Watford with a torn anterior cruciate knee injury. He has since had reconstructive knee surgery, ending his season abruptly. Mike Jackson also has Ashley Westwood (ankle) and Johann Berg Gudmundsson (calf) out, although there is hope that Jay Rodriguez (hamstring), James Tarkowski (hamstring), Ben Mee (leg) and Jack Cork (knock) can get minutes during the Clarets’ Double Gameweek clashes.

“Jack Cork is back training today. Tarky [Tarkowski] we’re still waiting on with his hamstring. J-Rod [Rodriguez] is out running, Ben Mee is starting to do some running as well. Vydra has had to have a knee operation.” – Mike Jackson

BRENTFORD

After missing the last four matches with a hamstring injury, Thomas Frank has confirmed that Sergi Canos is available for the trip to Goodison Park. Yet Ethan Pinnock (hamstring), Zanka (thigh) and Frank Onyeka (ankle) will all miss out for the Bees. Hope remains that Saman Ghoddos (ankle) could participate at some point.

CRYSTAL PALACE

James McArthur (calf) and Nathan Ferguson (hamstring) won’t be taking part in the Eagles’ Double Gameweek 37 trips to Aston Villa and Everton. There are question marks over whether Marc Guehi (ankle) will play but Patrick Vieira did not mention goalkeeper Vicente Guaita, who missed out last weekend.

NORWICH CITY

Dean Smith says that he will have the same squad as at Leicester City, with no new injuries. Josh Sargent (ankle), Kenny McLean (foot), Adam Idah (knee), Ozak Kabak (hamstring) and Andrew Omobamidele (back) are out for the season, with a thigh injury keeping Mathias Normann on the sidelines. The match against Wolves also comes too soon for Christoph Zimmermann (groin).

WATFORD

A series of problems have plagued Roy Hodgson’s squad over the last week. He has confirmed that Watford will be without Emmanuel Dennis, Ismaila Sarr, Juraj Kucka and Imran Louza due to knee injuries, whilst Kiko Femenia and Joshua King are still ill.

A start is unlikely for Cucho Hernandez (hamstring) and Tom Cleverley (knock) but at least they can welcome Hassane Kamara back from suspension.

      I wouldn't have Rudi on FH. Rather have Pickford over Schmeichel, rest is good

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      If you want a differential you can do better than Rudiger imo.

      But I wouldn't differentiate there anyway. Go Digne.

    Best option for BB this week: Will FH in 38 so these transfers are essentially one week punts. 0.3 ITB

      1. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

  11. Jock Grealish

    Pool and Chelsea quite vulnerable to rotation/injury with games 3 and 4 days after final so use your transfers wisely.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      120 minutes tomorrow and transfer plans could get very interesting.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Pulled the trigger on Salah to Son last night. He’s killing me.

  12. melvinmbabazi

      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      If ever there was a time to do the move it would be now, if there's nothing else pressing go for it!

  13. klopptimusprime
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Can just stretch to this FH and think its almost perfect bar lack of Zaha

    Schmeichel
    Cash | Digne | Mykolenko
    Salah | KDB | Son | Grey
    Vardy | Richarlison | Watkins

    3.9 | Brownhill | 4.0 | 4.0

    Thoughts?

    1. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Preferred earlier version

      1. klopptimusprime
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        realised I was 0.7 Short from that draft as fpl.team stuffed up

        could swap Castagne to Andersen/Holgate/Keane an go that route tho

        1. The Mentaculus
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 2 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Yeah Castagne would be my choice to downgrade if slightly short of budget

        2. noissimbus
          • 1 Year
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Don't forget Tsimikas! Cheapest defender as fodder at 3.7.

      2. klopptimusprime
        • 7 Years

        cheers!

    2. Stimps

      Very nice, who's your captain?

      1. klopptimusprime
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Currently out of anyone in front 3, hoping pressers will give some clarity

  14. Jock Grealish
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Not really feeling the Zaha love on here. Palace haven't a good away record.

    1. MARVELLUS
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Zaha has scored 6 in last 7 away games

      1. Jock Grealish
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        so blank this gw

    FH37.

    Pickford
    Taa cancelo cash
    Zaha gordon Kdb Son(c) Salah
    Ings Richarlison

    What to change ??

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Ings(c)?

    2. mdm

      Richa (c)?

  17. leo_messi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Any news from Gerrard (Ramsey news mostly)?

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Ramsey out

    2. Skonto Rigga
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      That'll arrive about 2-ish. With Villa, the quotes only emerge an hour after the pressers take place.

  18. mdm
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Bench one:

    A. Alonso (LEI)
    B. Davies (BUR)
    C. TAA (sou)

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Maybe Davies? He might come in for one of the other two anyway.

  19. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Any news on why Krul did not play the last game?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Not sure but I watched the highlights vs West Ham and he was absolutely awful on every goal.

      1. noissimbus
        • 1 Year
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Gunn looked good in last game. Could oust Krul for remaining games.

  20. sirmorbach

    Please rate my FH team?

    Pickford
    Robertson, Cash, Clyne
    Salah, KDB, Son, Zaha, Maddison
    Ings, Richarlison

    Tsimikas, Zinchenko, fodder

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years

      You have the obvious suspects, the rest is in the laps of the fpl gods

      1. sirmorbach

        Appreciate it!

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I'd go Mykolenko over Clyne. Why would you buy Zinchenko and then have him be a sub?

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Many thanks, sir

  21. adstomko
    • 7 Years

    Hi folks, who would you recommend changing in this squad for GW37? (1.8m ITB)


    Trent, Van Dijk, Cancelo
    KDB, Son, Coutinho, Saka, Gordon
    Weghorst, Nketiah.

    Have Thiago Silva on the bench too. Weghorst to Richarlison (C) is on my mind. Any other ideas?

  22. cutch
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    On a FH:

    Pickford*
    Robertson, Digne*, Cash*
    Son, KDB, Maddison*, Zaha*
    Kane, Ings*, Richarlison*
    Subs: 3.9 GK, Brownhill, Amartey, Tsimikas
    0.8 ITB

    A) GTG, save
    B) Maddison/Zaha -> Luis Diaz/Jota (downgrading Robertson to VVD/Matip)
    C) Robertson -> Mykolenko

    Cheers

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      No Son on FH :O You're crazy! Watch his reaction after being subbed last night... That is a man who wants goals!

      1. Men in green tights
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        He has son in team

      2. cutch
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I've got him...

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Oh it's Salah you don't have....

          Not for me either.

          He's the golden boot leader playing the team with the worst xGC in the last 6 games.

    2. Men in green tights
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      C is what I've got , suspect Liv will concede , toss up between KDB and Salah as suspect everyone is going KDB because of last game but I've gone Salah .
      Not sure if that helps but overall seems a bit like most free hit teams
      Cheers

    What happened to Watkins??

      He is Ok

        Bad for Coutinho?

      2. Jock Grealish
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Ollie Watkins hasn't trained all week on doctor's orders. He's going to try and train tomorrow and Gerrard is hopeful he can play some part vs Crystal Palace.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      A knock

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I transferred him in before the game he got a knock annoyingly, worth keeping him as he was playing as my only striker!!!

  24. grooveymatt65

    hey guys this is my team:

    Pope Jakupovic

    TAA Laporte Alonso White Saiss

    1. Laporte, Jakupovic and Coutinho to Pickford, Digne and Andersen for -8

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years

      Yer, Laporte to Clyne/Mykolenko/Cash/Digne could help you upgrade Brownhill to Zaha, which would make the BB stronger.

      I'd focus on swapping out Laporte, Janku, and Brownhill. Maybe to one of those defenders I mentioned, Zaha, and Pickford? Not sure if the £ works out.

      Do you have Son? B if so. Probably still B if you don't haha.

      Can you find a way to have both Kane and Richarlison? If not, maybe A, just. Not sold on Coutinho, but Kane and Son are hungry.

    So far, so template FH, right? Kane is a kneejerk inclusion after last night. Without him, I had TAA over Matip and both Diaz & Jota. Thoughts?

    Pickford
    Matip; Cash; Clyne
    Son; Diaz/Jota; KDB; Zaha
    Kane; Ings, Richarlison

    (Steele; Gordon; Jansson; Coady)

      If you downgrade the bench slightly, can you still afford Jota & Diaz in place of Zaha (or Richarlison)? I'm warming to that double up. Firmino is somehow in the FFS predicted lineup but since he hasnt even played a single minute off the bench yet I cant see him starting. So I'm assuming Diaz/Jota/Salah for Saints now.

        1 year, 10 months ago

        Yah, I've gone back on my Firmino punt. I could get both if I took out Zaha or Richarlison. I'd probably take out Richarlison. for this:

        Pickford
        Matip; Cash; Clyne
        Son; Diaz; Jota; KDB; Zaha
        Kane; Ings

        (Steele; Sanchez; Jansson; Richardson)

      Here is what I'm on:
      Pickford
      Robertson Cash Digne
      Son KDB Jota Trossard Olise
      Kane Vardy

      Either that, or Olise & Vardy - Diaz & Ings. What do you reckon?

      1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        1) Thinking that Robertson has had his rest?

        2) Villa double def is bold!

        3) Diaz & Ings for me (though Vardy bagging two is an annoying complication haha and the fixtures look good). Can you get Diaz and Vardy; maybe via Robbo to Matip?

        4) Not liking Zaha punt? I've seen you saying you're a fan of Olise. Also Trossard is a great punt.

          Cheers!

          1) Yep, should start regardless of FA Cup mins I think.

          2) I think Burnley will be desperate for a point & like the CS prospect there more than Everton's. So I'm thinking 8pt floor, and not bad chance of 2nd CS or attacking return bumping that into the 15-18pt range.

          3) I'm gonna keep swinging back & forth on this.... But contrary to popular opinion, I think Vardy might start at Watford & Ings might be rested for Burnley (for City 2 days later).

          4) Zaha is perhaps the obvious choice. I just love watching Olise so its a fun punt for me

            Sound thinking re: 1 & 2

            Yah the Vardy pick is tricky. If I were more confident he'd start, I'd pick him. Is there a chance his return gets managed? Or has that already been happening? Hmm just went and looked at his minutes - three partial games and yesterday was first full start. Not a bad shout then... Do you think Ings gets rested with Watkins a doubt?

            Ha love the fun pick - it's about time someone had some fun playing FPL!

              With Vardy, I think the only problem is the Thursday night - Sunday afternoon turnaround between Chelsea & Southampton. Looks pretty sharp so I think he can play more than 1 of the 3 remaining fixtures, but not Che & Sou. So therefore he starts Watford? Its either flawless logic or overthinking...
              Same issue for Villa with Burnley Thurs, City Sunday. Gerrard would love to upset City & hand Liverpool the title so surely wants his 1st 11 then. And if its too much for Ings to play all 3, and he has to start Palace in Watkins' absence, Burnley would be the game he's likely rotated for.

    No one is doing Holgate in their FH team?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Pickford looks the standout keeper and people are hesitant to double up defensively or prefer LWB Myko or Gordon alongside Richarlison.

      1. cutch
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        This. To double Everton defence, Myko is a more popular option now.

        1. Wag the Drog
          • 12 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          got it. can't afford Myko in my side:

          Pickford
          Robbo-Cash-Holgate
          Son-KDB-Salah-Maddison-Zaha
          Rich-Ings

          1. cutch
            • 9 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Is it a FH? If you eventually wanted Myko over Holgate, maybe you could downgrade Robbo to VVD or Matip.

      Yer, looks good. Bold C choice, too, I like it.

          On reflection, on slight issue could be double AVL defence? Maybe one of Cash or Digne and then Clyne or Andersen?

          1. Bavarian
            • 6 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Have Clyne 1st on bench, I could swap him to someone, let's see what happens till Sunday...

      Thumbs up from me

  29. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    KDB or Kane?
    Salah or Mane?
    Maddison or Trossard or other?

    Will probably (c) Son or some DGWer.

    1. Bavarian
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      KDB-Salah-Maddison

    2. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      KDB over Kane as would (c) Son anyway so spread the risk?

    3. Men in green tights
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I've gone
      Kane
      Salah
      Madison
      And captain is rich
      Cheers

    Which are the best 2 options out of these 3?
    A) Maddison
    B) Zaha
    C) Diaz/Jota

    1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B and whomever doesn't start the FA Cup? That's what I'm doing anyway. Or I might have both Diaz and Jota if I go without Kane.
