Friday night sees league-leaders Arsenal host bottom-of-the-table Southampton as Gameweek 32 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) gets underway.

Kick-off is at 20:00 BST.

There is a huge amount of interest in this match for FPL managers, particularly those who have tripled up on a Free Hit. The good news is that all of the key Arsenal assets start, including Oleksandr Zinchenko, who had been nursing a groin issue. That means Kieran Tierney drops to the bench.

Elsewhere, Granit Xhaka misses out through illness and is replaced in the starting XI by Fabio Vieira, who joins Thomas Partey and Martin Odegaard in the engine room. Further forward, Gabriel Jesus is flanked by Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.

As for Saints, Ruben Selles makes three changes to the side beaten by Crystal Palace in Gameweek 31, as Romain Perraud, Mohamed Elyounoussi and Adam Armstrong come in for Ainsley Maitland-Niles – who is ineligible to face his parent club – Kalmaldeen Sulemana and Joe Aribo.

GAMEWEEK 32 LINE-UPS

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, White, Holding, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Partey, Odegaard, Vieira, Saka, Martinelli, Jesus

    1. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

  9. Gudjohnsen

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

    Going with Jesus was a wise decision

    1. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      If we didn't have Jesus would've got odegarrd ir arsenal defence so not much difference

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      1. Goodfeathers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        *premier league

  23. Vote Joke
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    My 8 point hit for Mart & Jesus would have paid off beautifully if Jesus scored that easy chance.

  24. Bluetiger1
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Smith Rowe

  25. A. PRISE
    • 5 Years

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
