Predicted line-ups and confirmed Premier League team news: FPL Gameweek 35

Latest News: Jurrien Timber (knee), who has been back in training in recent weeks, remains a little distance from a playing return. Other than that, the Arsenal team news is very positive, with Mikel Arteta saying “everyone else is all good". Attention is now firmly on the Premier League after the midweek UEFA Champions League elimination but there's another busy week ahead, so the threat of rotation still looms large. The likes of Oleksandr Zinchenko, Thomas Partey, Emile Smith Rowe, Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Jesus could enter the thinking with Chelsea and Spurs up after this, with injury-hit Wolves being under strength perhaps furthering the temptation for Arteta to spare some key names. Kai Havertz, for instance, is on a run of 16 successive starts for club and country.

Latest News: Douglas Luiz remains out as he finishes a two-match ban for yellow card accumulation. Longer-term injury victims Jacob Ramsey (foot), Tyrone Mings (knee), Boubacar Kamara (knee) and Emi Buendia (knee) are also still sidelined, while Alex Moreno (calf) has been added to the injury list for “maybe… two to three weeks”. Nicolo Zaniolo hobbled out of Thursday’s clash with Lille but there was no update forthcoming on him, with Unai Emery saying on Friday that only the five aforementioned names were on the treatment table. Energy levels may be sapped after the penalty shootout victory over Lille but Emery isn't exactly blessed with a deep squad, with even substitutes Morgan Rogers and Leon Bailey getting 92 and 52 minutes respectively in France. Diego Carlos for the newly fit-again Matty Cash is one very plausible change after 120 minutes for the Poland international in Europe, while Tim Iroegbunam and Jhon Duran are seldom used alternatives in midfield and in attack.

Latest News: Luis Sinisterra (hamstring) made a surprise return to the Bournemouth squad last weekend – and promptly reinjured himself. He’ll now be out for three to four weeks, rejoining Marcus Tavernier (hamstring) and Ryan Fredericks (calf) on the treatment table. Andoni Iraola’s comments that he wasn’t expecting anyone else to return bar Antoine Semenyo (calf) also imply that Tyler Adams (back) and Chris Mepham (illness) won’t be fit. There might be a straight swap between Semenyo and Sinisterra or, as we saw with some success last weekend, there's a possibility that Milos Kerkez operates further up the left flank with Lloyd Kelly tucking in behind him. Dango Ouattara, capable of operating on either wing, might end up being the odd one out, then. The central areas look a lot more settled (centre-back, central midfield, Justin Kluivert and Dominic Solanke) but Enes Unal, Alex Scott, Philip Billing and Romain Faivre could get a look-in on Wednesday, as Iraola often rotates his attacking midfielders in a three-game week.

Latest News: Kristoffer Ajer (calf) and Christian Nørgaard (back) are back to face Luton Town but Rico Henry (knee), Josh Dasilva (knee), Ben Mee (ankle) and Aaron Hickey (hamstring) remain out longer term for the Bees. It's likely too soon for Norgaard to start but Ethan Pinnock, who is further down the line in his recovery and got off the bench last weekend, is one possible returnee to the starting XI, with Zanka making way. Thomas Frank finally moved back to a 4-3-3 last weekend, the ideal system to accommodate his first-choice front three - only for Ivan Toney to remain unused. Frank was coy on whether the striker, benched in the last two matches amid ongoing hip issues, would return to the starting XI this time. The Brentford boss said the striker was “pressing” and “desperate” to start but would only say “let’s see” when grilled on Toney’s starting prospects. Frank does have alternatives to the underwhelming Neal Maupay even if Toney isn't risked again, with Keane Lewis-Potter or (a probably not yet fit enough) Kevin Schade alternatives in the front three. Alternatively, Pinnock comes in for Maupay and the Bees revert to a 3-5-2.

Latest News: We won’t hear from Roberto De Zerbi ahead of the Gameweek 34 deadline, due to Brighton not being in action until next week. Last Friday, the Brighton boss said that Billy Gilmour (knee), Adam Webster (muscle) and James Milner (muscle) could be available for selection in the coming weeks - so it remains to be seen if any of that trio recovers for the visit of Manchester City. There’s no timeline on Evan Ferguson (ankle), Tariq Lamptey (unknown) and Julio Enciso (unknown), while Jack Hinshelwood (foot), Solly March (knee), Kauro Mitoma (back) are out for the season. De Zerbi also confirmed after Saturday’s draw at Burnley that Pervis Estupinan has suffered an ankle injury. None of the players we've mentioned so far were seen in Thursday's training gallery on the Brighton site, although there is another week before the reigning champions come to town. Also not seen was Joao Pedro, so we'll have to bide our time before discovering if his absence was injury related or otherwise. Facundo Buonanotte and Igor Julio are the possible beneficiaries if Pedro and Estupinan miss out, with Ansu Fati and Adam Lallana - rare starters of late - further attacking alternatives. Valentín Barco still awaits his full Premier League debut, having barely seen any action off the bench.

Latest News: Dara O’Shea will return from suspension this week. His replacement in Gameweek 33, Hjalmar Ekdal, was also said to be “fine” after hobbling out of the draw with Brighton. Elsewhere, Aaron Ramsey (knee), Nathan Redmond (leg), Ameen Al-Dakhil (unknown) and Jordan Beyer (muscle) are likely out for the season but Vincent Kompany said on Thursday that Luca Koleosho (knee) was "doing well" and could "potentially" feature before the end of 2023/24. Ekdal's impressive display against the Seagulls means it's not an inevitability that O’Shea regains his place, while there's uncertainty at left-back after Gameweek 33 starter Vitinho and his replacement Charlie Taylor were each given a half against Roberto De Zerbi's side. The front six have all started the last three Gameweeks together (many of them were regulars before that, too), so Johann Berg Gudmundsson, Zeki Amdouni, Mike Tresor, Benson Manuel and Jay Rodriguez - who have a combined one start in the last seven Gameweeks - won't be holding their breath for recalls. Kompany hinted that he would keep faith in Ari Muric despite his recent errors, meanwhile, pointing out the support given to James Trafford during a similarly troubled spell earlier in the season.

Latest News: Raheem Sterling, Enzo Fernandez and Axel Disasi were all removed from the Chelsea injury list ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final. Sterling has been out with illness, with the other two briefly sidelined with unspecified injuries. Christopher Nkunku (hamstring) and Robert Sanchez (illness) are back in “partial training”, too, so there's only Romeo Lavia (thigh), Lesley Ugochukwu (hamstring), Wesley Fofana (knee), Levi Colwill (toe) and Reece James (hamstring) on the sidelines right now. As is the case with the two Manchester clubs, the weekend cup tie at Wembley is a bit of a complication as it could throw up selection issues for the Gameweek 34 fixture that follows it. The predicted XI you see here is the one that demolished Everton on Monday, with the exception of Enzo in for Noni Madueke. Disasi, Ben Chilwell or Benoit Badiashile could come into the equation if Mauricio Pochettino goes ultra cautious at the Emirates and moves to a back five, while Sterling is yet another (underachieving) option out wide. The reverse fixture saw Sterling and Mykhailo Mudryk flank false nine Cole Palmer, but Nicolas Jackson has hit some semblance of form recently and it'd be a surprise to see him dropped unless fatigue is an issue after Saturday.

Latest News: Jefferson Lerma (hamstring) picked up an injury against Liverpool which will rule him out until Gameweek 36, while Joel Ward (groin) and Will Hughes (knock) will have to be assessed. Sam Johnstone (elbow), Matheus Franca (groin), Marc Guehi (knee) and Cheick Doucoure (Achilles) remain out, meanwhile. In better news, Rob Holding (ankle) has trained all week, while Chris Richards (knee) was also back in training for the first time on Friday. Such a short stint in training for Richards renders him a doubt for the opening Gameweek 34 fixture, while Holding has missed the whole of 2024. There is a chance we see James Tomkins or Jairo Riedewald at centre-half, then, with David Ozoh, Naouirou Ahamada and Riedewald the possible deputies for Hughes in the engine room. Unenforced changes look less than likely after the win over Liverpool (the more physical Ward for Nathaniel Clyne would be one possibility if the former is fit) but you could envisage Jordan Ayew or Jeffrey Schlupp getting a start in midweek, with Oliver Glasner careful not to overload Michael Olise following his recent return to fitness.

Latest News: Dominic Calvert–Lewin (hamstring), Idrissa Gana Gueye (calf) and Jarrad Branthwaite (unknown) were involved in "light training" on Friday and "came through it", so there is hope that these three can be fit to face Nottingham Forest. Seamus Coleman (groin) is “touch and go at best”, however, while Nathan Patterson (hamstring) is now out for the season. Ben Godfrey or a redeployed Ashley Young will come in at right-back in the one enforced change but there may be further alterations beyond that following a dismal defeat at Chelsea on Monday. Jack Harrison and Andre Gomes were both thrown on at half–time in west London as James Garner and Amadou Onana got the boot, while Calvert–Lewin and Gueye were made to look better by their absences. Michael Keane will be on standby to replace Branthwaite if the young stopper fails to recover, while Beto will be similarly poised in case Calvert–Lewin again isn't risked.

Latest News: Fulham have had a fully fit squad since the March international break, a situation that hasn't changed since last weekend. The Cottagers come into the clash with Liverpool off the back of a win over West Ham, so there's a strong likelihood of us seeing a very similar side again. It's been a pretty settled XI for a while: seven players have started every match over the last eight Gameweeks, while Joao Palhinha would almost certainly have made it eight had he not been suspended. Even the sole benching for Timothy Castagne was merely energy preservation in a three-game week. There's a chance that Marco Silva rotates out Rodrigo Muniz at some stage of the run-in to give Raul Jimenez and Armando Broja some long-awaited game time, especially with Fulham heading towards the comfort of mid-table without the threat of relegation or prospect of Europe. Right now, however, those two strikers are limited to cameos alongside the likes of Adama Traore, Harry Wilson and Bobby De Cordova-Reid.

Latest News: Jurgen Klopp confirmed earlier this week that Conor Bradley, who injured his ankle in Sunday’s defeat to Crystal Palace, will be out for the rest of April. Ben Doak (knee), Thiago Alcantara (muscle) and Joel Matip (knee) also remain sidelined but other than those four, there were no notable absentees for, or obvious injuries sustained, in the win over Atalanta. Klopp’s press conference for the Fulham game was a brief affair, with only some vague quotes about the fit-again Diogo Jota and Trent Alexander-Arnold playing their way back into rhythm. Alexander-Arnold himself said, more tellingly, that he “ran out of juice” in the clash with Atalanta on Thursday, and there's certainly a good chance of him being benched in one of the next two games. The same goes for much of the starting XI bar Alisson and Virgil van Dijk but exactly when that will occur is the question. The tightest turnaround in this busy fortnight is the pivot from Wednesday's Merseyside derby to the Saturday lunchtime kick-off at West Ham, so it might be at Goodison Park where some more of the big guns get a breather. In case you think Klopp wouldn't do that against the local rivals, he's done it on a couple of occasions in the past. The likes of Wataru Endo, Jarrell Quansah and Darwin Nunez could come back into the thinking if there are changes before that.

Latest News: Albert Sambi Lokonga (hamstring), who was earmarked for a comeback against Brentford, hasn’t made it. Chiedozie Ogbene (hamstring), Gabriel Osho (knee), Elijah Adebayo (hamstring), Dan Potts (hamstring), Mads Andersen (calf) and Tom Lockyer (health) also remain unavailable, while Amari’i Bell (hamstring), Jacob Brown (knee) and Marvelous Nakamba (knee) are out for the season. There are two bits of good news: loanee Issa Kabore will return after not being able to face his parent club Manchester City last weekend, while Teden Mengi is a "maybe" after missing out at the Etihad. There is a suggestion that Mengi simply wasn't risked against City because there were more winnable tests ahead, so there's a decent chance we see the winning XI from the Bournemouth game reunited this weekend: that would see Kabore and Mengi come in for Fred Onyedima and Luke Berry. If Mengi isn't fit, then Daiki Hashioka likely moves to centre-half and Onyedima continues down the right.

Latest News: Predicting the Manchester City XI is hard at the best of times but when you've got six days and an FA Cup semi-final between Pep Guardiola's press conference and the Gameweek 34 fixture at Brighton, much can go wrong. City were taken to extra-time and penalties by Real Madrid on Wednesday so we're assuming that Guardiola will have to use his squad at Wembley on Saturday, for a match that comes less than 72 hours after full-time in the UEFA Champions League. The reigning champions might be something closer to full strength by next Thursday, then, with the likes of Jeremy Doku and Julian Alvarez easing the workload this weekend. As for injuries, Guardiola said that Kevin De Bruyne's midweek issue was more fatigue and he now “feels well” but added that Erling Haaland "felt something... muscular" before being taken off against Madrid. Manuel Akanji was also substituted but we've had no further word on him. There is a chance that we could get a more serious prognosis on Haaland between now and the game the Amex, then, in which case Alvarez will have to step up in attack. Nathan Ake, Kyle Walker and John Stones all recovered from injuries/niggles to be involved in midweek, although only Walker started.

Latest News: Antony, Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay are all expected to recover from minor issues to make Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final against Coventry City. Raphael Varane (muscle), Luke Shaw (muscle), Jonny Evans (muscle), Tyrell Malacia (knee), Victor Lindelof (hamstring), Lisandro Martinez (calf) and Anthony Martial (groin) are set to again miss out again, however. United’s Gameweek 34 fixture against Sheffield United follows three days after the clash at Wembley, so there's plenty that could change between now and then. One of the shorter-term absentees (Evans, maybe) could return, for instance, or someone may get crocked against the Sky Blues. There's also the chance of rotation, something that Erik ten Hag used as an excuse when dividing game time between Antony and Marcus Rashford in Gameweeks 31 and 32. McTominay, Sofyan Amrabat, Mason Mount, Christian Eriksen and Amad Diallo could very well get look-ins, then, either against Sheffield United or versus Burnley three days after that. As for Alejandro Garnacho, ten Hag confirmed that the winger has apologised for liking tweets criticising his substitution in the match against Bournemouth last Saturday. The United boss pledged to "move on", so we assume there'll be no further discipline meted out.

Latest News: We won’t hear from Eddie Howe until well after the Gameweek 34 deadline, so there is the distinct possibility that some team news emerges later that we are unaware of. We do know that Jamaal Lascelles (knee) and Sven Botman (knee) are out for the season, while there’s some doubt about whether Joelinton (quad), Matt Targett (Achilles) and Lewis Miley (back) will feature again in the current campaign. Reports suggest that Joe Willock will not be risked again in 2023/24 after the recurrence of his old Achilles injury, while Sandro Tonali is banned until August. There's a decent chance that the Crystal Palace game may also come too soon for Miguel Almiron (knee) and Nick Pope (shoulder), who were on track to return in late April or early May - if the timelines provided by their manager are still accurate. We could see Kieran Trippier (calf) soon, however. Howe said last Friday that the veteran right-back was “doing well” and was “one of the players in the background that’s starting to feel really good”. Callum Wilson (chest) was seen in training on Wednesday, meanwhile, so a Gameweek 34 comeback could be on the cards for him, too. Assuming Wilson and Almiron aren't ready for starts, it'll be Harvey Barnes v Jacob Murphy for the one available slot in the front six. Barnes started the thrashing of Spurs on the left, with Murphy at right-back, but the return to fitness of Lewis Hall, Tino Livramento and maybe even Trippier means that Murphy is free to be moved forward if needed. Speaking of Hall and Livramento, they were only fit enough for bench duty in Gameweek 33 but will have had the best part of a fortnight to further recover. While one of them will likely come in for Murphy at full-back, Emil Krafth's recent fine showings may be rewarded with another start at Selhurst Park.

Latest News: Willy Boly (muscle) remains out, while Taiwo Awoniyi (muscle) is only partly back in training so is presumably not going to feature on Merseyside. Anthony Elanga could well be available, however: a slight knock ruled him out of Saturday’s match but he has returned to training this week. Gio Reyna in for the injured Elanga is the only alteration that Nuno Espirito Santo has made over the last three Gameweeks, an enforced change that could be reversed at Goodison Park. Ryan Yates should be at risk based on the last two sub-par showings but with Everton being a more physical, aerially dominant side, this just might well be the sort of game in which he is needed most. Nicolas Dominguez is otherwise knocking on the door and at the front of the queue in the midfield reserves, with the disappointing Ibrahima Sangare falling from grace and favour. Moussa Niakhate is also an option as a third centre-half or at left-back if Nuno is having nightmares about the Toffees' corners and free-kicks.

Latest News: Jack Robinson (ankle) and Jayden Bogle (ankle) are "struggling" to be fit for the visit of Burnley, while George Baldock (calf), Max Lowe (ankle), Rhys Norrington-Davies (hamstring), Chris Basham (leg) and John Egan (leg) remain sidelined. Tom Davies (hamstring), Rhian Brewster (hamstring) and Daniel Jebbison (illness) are only just back on the grass, too, so are seemingly unlikely to feature. Chris Wilder indeed said on Friday that a decision would have to be taken about whether to hold Brewster and Jebbison back for next season, rather than risk them in what seems like an increasingly futile attempt to beat the drop. The likely absence of Bogle means that we will either see a first start for rookie Sam Curtis or perhaps a formation change, with Mason Holgate moving to right-back. A shift to a 4-3-3, for instance, would open up a spot further forward for the likes of James McAtee, Will Osula or Cameron Archer. Anis Ben Slimane, Vinicius Souza, Oliver Norwood and Andre Brooks might find it trickier to gatecrash the starting XI with the central midfield three in decent nick but if the versatile Ben Osborn's services are needed elsewhere, a slot could emerge alongside Gus Hamer and the impressive Oliver Arblaster. Unenforced changes look less likely elsewhere, with the Blades turning in some much improved displays over the last five matches.

Latest News:

Latest News: Jarrod Bowen (back) returned to training on Wednesday and started the clash with Bayer Leverkusen the following day. Having taken a painkilling injection before the game, he’ll now be assessed to see if he can face Crystal Palace this weekend. Kalvin Phillips (hamstring), Alphonse Areola (groin), Konstantinos Mavropanos (unknown) and Nayef Aguerd (ankle) will also need to prove their fitness: the first two were back in training ahead of the Leverkusen game, while the last two have hobbled out of matches in the last week. Danny Ings and Ben Johnson are options if Bowen isn't available for successive starts, while there's also the option of sticking James Ward-Prowse or Lucas Paqueta wider. Angelo Ogbonna will be on standby if Aguerd and Mavropanos miss out, while Lukasz Fabianski is likely on borrowed time with Areola nearing fitness. The rest of David Moyes' team selection may be down to mental and physical fatigue after Thursday's near miss, with Michail Antonio and Kurt Zouma usually in the conversation for breathers in congested periods. Emerson Palmieri and Paqueta are fresh, at least, having been banned in Europe in midweek.

Latest News: Matheus Cunha (calf) and Nelson Semedo (calf) have been added to Wolves' injury list ahead of Gameweek 34. Craig Dawson also underwent season-ending groin surgery this week, while Jean-Ricner Bellegarde (knee), Leon Chiwome (ankle) and Pedro Neto (hamstring) remain sidelined. Neto is at least back on the grass and should feature again this season. The bad news doesn't end there as Rayan Ait-Nouri (calf) is only ready for bench duty at best, while Hwang Hee-chan won’t be able to contribute anything more than 45 minutes. Gary O'Neil even said that getting Pablo Sarabia (groin) and Mario Lemina (fatigue) through three matches in a week would be tough, despite them being technically available. Matt Doherty, Hugo Bueno and Santiago Bueno are default starters in the absence of Semedo, Ait-Nouri and Dawson, while Nathan Fraser will be on standby to lead the line if Hwang isn't used from the start. Boubacar Traore, without a start since the reverse fixture at the Emirates, is another option if Lemina needs resting or if O'Neil wants to go ultra-cautious with another combative central midfielder in place of Fraser.
