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

Latest News: Mikel Arteta hopes Martin Zubimendi (unspecified) will be fit to face Nottingham Forest on Sunday, but Piero Hincapie (ankle) is still a concern, with the Spaniard saying “he will probably need another week or two”. William Saliba (back) and Christos Tzolis (hamstring) remain out. Aside from which of Ben White or Jurrien Timber gets the nod at right-back, probably the main source of debate is who joins Declan Rice in the middle of the park, with Bruno Guimaraes and Myles Lewis-Skelly the main contenders. Despite finding the net in midweek, Eberechi Eze may have to bide his time again, with Noni Madueke preferred on the left wing. Benched in Europe, Riccardo Calafiori, Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz will almost certainly be restored to the starting XI at the City Ground.

Latest News: Ross Barkley (knock) and George Hemmings (knee) both face late fitness tests ahead of Saturday’s trip to St James’ Park. However, Ian Maatsen (ankle) and Matteo Ruggeri (hamstring) remain sidelined, as does long-term absentee Amadou Onana (knee). Leon Goretzka made his debut as a substitute in midweek, while Brian Madjo should also be fit and available. Neither player will trouble the starting XI, however. Victor Lindelof and Pau Torres should retain their partnership at the back after Wednesday’s clean sheet, while Joao Gomes will likely take over from Barkley in the middle of the park. Elsewhere, Ibrahim Mbaye impressed in the win over Fenerbahce and could keep his place over Emiliano Buendia, particularly with the more defensive-minded Aaron Wan-Bissaka having to cover at left-back.

Latest News: Marco Rose faced the media in the aftermath of Thursday’s 3-0 win over Sturm Graz. He provided a positive update on Alex Scott (tendon), whose injury doesn’t appear to be as bad as first feared. He’ll still be out for a few weeks, mind. Veljko Milosavljevic (knee), Julian Araujo (thigh) and Eli Junior Kroupi (foot) are all reportedly back on the grass, and some could return in the next week or two. Rose has quickly settled on a favoured XI this season, with eight players featuring in every Premier League line-up. The central midfield positions have seen a bit upheaval, however, with Ryan Christie, Tyler Adams and Justin Kluivert perhaps preferred here. Kluivert – and Amine Adli – both returned to action as second half substitutes in Europe.

Latest News: Kevin Schade (shoulder) and Jannik Schuster (ankle) will be assessed, after both were substituted off with issues last week. Keith Andrews also said that Nathan Collins (calf) and Mikkel Damsgaard (unspecified) could return on Saturday. That leaves Antoni Milambo (knee), Josh Dasilva (hamstring) and Kaye Furo (knee), who all remain out. With Schade a doubt, Keane Lewis-Potter could return to the left flank, having filled in centrally at Villa Park last week. Dango Ouattara is an alternative option out wide. Sepp van den Berg was back on the bench in Gameweek 6 and feels like the likely replacement for Schuster, should he miss out, although Aaron Hickey could also fill in at centre-back. If Mamadou Sangare makes his first start since Gameweek 4, Yehor Yarmoliuk or Vitaly Janelt would have to make way for that to happen.

Latest News: Pascal Struijk’s ban has been overturned, but he will still need to be assessed ahead of Sunday’s derby. Fabian Hurzeler isn’t expecting anyone else back, although Mats Wieffer (knee) and Yankuba Minteh (leg) are getting close. The hope for Kaoru Mitoma (hamstring) is that he will return in/around the November international break. Femi Azeez (hamstring), Zadok Yohanna (unspecified), Evan Ferguson (ankle) and Stefan Tzimas (knee) remain out. As for the starting XI, we could see an unchanged lineup from Gameweek 6, with Lewis Dunk in for Struijk the likeliest change at the back. Jack Hinshelwood made his return from injury in Europe on Thursday, but a substitute role looks likely here. Georginio Rutter played 90 minutes in that match, too, which suggests Charalampos Kostoulas will get the nod against Palace.

Latest News: Reece James is set to miss three months of action after undergoing knee surgery. Jamie Gittens (ankle) and Emmanuel Emegha (knock) are also out. The injury to James should mean Jordan Henderson and Moises Caicedo continue in central midfield, although Romeo Lavia is among those pushing for a recall. However, after last weekend’s 5-1 win over Bournemouth, Xabi Alonso may be tempted to name an unchanged starting XI. If he does decide to mix it up, he could perhaps pick Wesley Fofana over Josh Acheampong, while Jorrell Hato and Marco Palestra, who returned from injury last week, are alternative options at wing-back. Front three Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers and Joao Pedro will surely lead the line.

Latest News: Taiwo Awoniyi returns to the squad after completing his three-match ban. Kaine Kesler-Hayden is also available for this game, although match fitness could be an issue. Luke Woolfenden (knee), Aurele Amenda (calf), Josh Eccles (ankle) and Haji Wright (quad) will all miss out. Frank Lampard used a 4-2-3-1 formation to beat Newcastle United on Monday, but may be tempted to revert to a back three for the trip to north London, a tactic he successfully used in the 1-0 away win over Nottingham Forest prior to the international break. In that scenario, Stephen Mfuni could come in for Ephron Mason-Clark. Sidiki Cherif’s goal in Gameweek 6 might see him continue up top, leaving Awoniyi and Ellis Simms in reserve.

Latest News: Daichi Kamada came off the bench to score against Lyon in midweek and should return to the starting XI for Sunday’s trip to rivals Brighton and Hove Albion in the A23 derby. Adam Wharton has played back-to-back 90s but is expected to go again following his rest during the extended international break. Quinten Timber should keep his place alongside him. Yeremy Pino is in good form while a start for Ismaila Sarr is perhaps more likely in next Thursday’s Europa League match in Turkey. Elsewhere, Axel Disasi completes his suspension, with Colombian Jefferson Lerma continuing to cover in the back three. There was no update one way or the other on the current crop of injured players, with Pierre Sage using the words “potentially”, “hope”, and “expect” in his presser but ultimately admitting that he didn’t know. Walter Benitez impressed against Forest, although he then saved just one of five shots on target faced against Lyon. He still probably starts. Minutes off the bench for Jean-Philippe Mateta is probably the best owners can hope for. Positional rival Jorgen Strand Larsen came off just after the hour mark in France, so he should be fine for Sunday.

Latest News: Vitalii Mykolenko (leg) could feature this weekend, with David Moyes saying he “is doing much better”. Jarrad Branthwaite (dead leg) may also be involved but faces a late fitness check. It sounds like Christian Norgaard will have to settle for a place on the bench again, however. As for the starting XI, Michael Keane will be on standby if any of the defenders miss out. Further forward, the usual question mark applies on the right wing. Brennan Johnson is hardly playing well at the moment yet keeps getting picked regardless, leaving Tyrique George waiting for his chance.

Latest News: Hugo Larsson (groin) is a doubt, but Alvaro Arbeloa said everyone else is fit. That presumably includes Tom Cairney (knee), who returned to training over the international break, and Antonee Robinson, who missed out last week due to an ankle issue. With Robinson fit, he will likely return to the starting XI at the expense of Ryan Sessegnon. There could be a change on the opposite flank too, with Timothy Castagne in for Kenny Tete. Castagne was benched in Gameweek 6 but had racked up 360 minutes for Belgium over the international break. Further forward, Cesar Palacios is pushing for a recall.

Latest News: Nobel Mendy has been ruled out for a couple of weeks with a groin problem, with Lucas Herrington his likely replacement on Saturday. Mohamed-Ali Cho (thigh) and Lucas Gourna-Douath (unknown) are also out but could return next week. Elsewhere, Matt Targett is out for two months with an ankle issue, joining Jack Butland (shoulder), Charlie Hughes (groin), Ilyas Ansah (back) and Darko Gyabi (thigh) on the sidelines. Sergej Jakirovic may be tempted to replace Matt Crooks with Tim Iroegbunam in central midfield, a change which occurred just after the hour mark last week. Further forward, Mohamed Belloumi should return to the starting XI, having previously been benched for fatigue following international duty. He’ll likely replace Joe Gelhardt, who Jakirovic said is still lacking a bit of rhythm in his presser. Oli McBurnie should lead the line again.

Latest News: Gary O’Neil has a fully fit squad for the clash with Manchester City. Abdul Fatawu is back from suspension, too. The winger will likely come straight back into the starting XI here, potentially with Jack Clarke, leaving Jaden Philogene and Daizen Maeda’s places on the flanks vulnerable. In the midfield pivot, Exequiel Palacios in for Luis Florentino is another potential alteration. Kjell Scherpen and Jacob Greaves both recently lost their places at the back and after last week’s win over Fulham, will likely struggle to get back in this weekend. The ‘keeper and back four should remain unchanged, then.

Latest News: Joe Rodon (hamstring) remains out for Leeds United, but Daniel James (back) could potentially return for Sunday’s home encounter with Manchester United. Mateo Joseph (knee) is out for the Whites, however. Leeds have been one of the easiest teams to predict this season, with this the same team that started at Arsenal last time out. The likes of Jaka Bijol, Brenden Aaronson and Harry Wilson may have to settle for places on the bench again, then. If Aaronson or Wilson are preferred, it’ll potentially be at the expense of Noah Okafor.

Latest News: Andoni Iraola said on Thursday that it was too early to rule out any of Dominik Szoboszlai (hamstring), Alexander Isak (quad) and Cody Gakpo (ankle), and that he wanted to keep the “chance open” of a return this weekend. Ryan Gravenberch serves a one-match ban after his dismissal for two bookable offences in Gameweek 6. Hugo Ekitike (Achilles), Conor Bradley (knee) and Giovanni Leoni (knee) will also miss out, with Leoni targeting a return to training during the November international break. Virgil van Dijk, Milos Kerkez, Alexis Mac Allister and Victor Munoz had the night off in Wednesday’s Champions League tie or were limited to second-half cameos, so you’d expect – certainly the first three anyway – to return against Brentford. The main question marks surround Szoboszlai, Isak and Gakpo, with Trey Nyoni, Munoz, Rio Ngumoha and Lewis Koumas potential inclusions if they fail to make it. Midweek hat-trick hero Bradley Barcola should start off the left regardless.

Latest News: Enzo Maresca has no fresh injuries to contend with for Saturday’s home encounter with Ipswich Town. Phil Foden is back from suspension, too. It’s a very tricky Manchester City line-up to predict this week, particularly with a trip to AEK Athens up next on Tuesday. This match also follows demanding clashes with Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain. The central midfield trio subsequently feels like the hardest to predict. Elliot Anderson, Enzo Fernandez and Rayan Cherki are included here, but Ayyoub Bouaddi impressed in midweek and could feature, with Foden also in the mix. Cherki’s place in the starting XI is far from secure, then. In the wide positions, Jeremy Doku’s minutes may continue to be managed following injury, with Iliman Ndiaye and Antoine Semenyo preferred. Josko Gvardiol v Nico O’Reilly feels like a genuine 50/50 call at left-back. As for Erling Haaland, Maresca said he will probably need to give him a “rest, some days off” soon, but he is still expected to start here. A breather in Europe is perhaps more likely.

Latest News: Michael Carrick said the club had moved on quickly from Lisandro Martinez’s outburst about the Manchester United hierarchy, and that he’ll be in the squad for Sunday’s trip to Leeds United. Luke Shaw (unspecified), Noussair Mazraoui (back) and Kobbie Mainoo (unspecified), who all missed out in midweek, will be assessed. Patrick Dorgu (hamstring), Manuel Ugarte (knee) and Benjamin Sesko (calf) remain out, however. Shaw and Mainoo will surely start if fit, but with another Champions League tie on the horizon, risks may not be taken. Fernandes was deployed on the right against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday but will likely move back centrally here, potentially ousting Youri Tielemans from the ’10’. Marcus Rashford is an alternative to the wide options included here.

Latest News: Matthias Jaissle is hopeful Bazoumana Traore will be fit to face Aston Villa, after he had to come off after taking a blow to his knee against Coventry earlier this week. Anthony Elanga (unknown) remains out but could re-join training next week. Back-up goalkeeper Ewen Jaouen (hamstring), Tino Livramento (unspecified) and Jacob Ramsey (thigh) will also miss Gameweek 7. Dan Burn will likely have to make do with substitute duty again as he continues to build his fitness after injury, but Jaissle did say that Joelinton could make his first start of the season on Saturday. Joe Willock may have to make way to accommodate the Brazilian, with Lewis Miley another option in the engine room. Up top, Will Osula is pushing for a return. Still, Jaissle seemed to suggest Matias Fernandez-Pardo just needs a goal to get going at Newcastle, so he may be given another opportunity to lead the line here.

Latest News: Oliver Glasner could be without Morgan Gibbs-White on Sunday after he picked up a minor muscle injury at Selhurst Park last week. However, he did say that he could join tomorrow’s training session and that he had a chance to feature, with the extra day of recovery potentially key. If Gibbs-White fails to make it, Callum Hudson-Odoi is the most likely player to come in. Elsewhere, Nikola Milenkovic is back in training but a start feels unlikely, given that he only recently returned. Nicolo Savona (knee) and Igor Jesus (calf) remain out. At the back, Jair Cunha could replace Ola Aina, while Ibrahim Sangare is an alternative to James McAtee, should Glasner want more physicality in the middle of the park.

Latest News: Wilson Isidor (knock) is a doubt for Sunderland with a minor injury and will be assessed. Thomas Meunier (groin), Dan Ballard (hamstring) and Romaine Mundle (knee) are unavailable, however. Brian Brobbey is in contention to start on Sunday, particularly if Wilson Isidor fails to prove his fitness. The Dutchman returned to the bench for Thursday’s Europa League clash but remained unused. Trai Hume and Nilson Angulo could offer support from the flanks, with Malick Fofana another option out wide. Habib Diarra is an outside bet to start in one of the midfield positions, having recently returned from injury as a sub.

Latest News: With Spurs not playing until Monday and having taken the opportunity to do a spot of warm-weather training in Marbella, we won’t be hearing from Roberto De Zerbi until the unusual time of 9:30 Sunday morning. Pedro Porro, who remained at Hotspur Way as he continued his recovery from a hamstring injury, took to Instagram, posting a video of himself exercising with the caption “almost back”. But the expectation is that the World Cup winner will get minutes off the bench, with a start more likely in the Gameweek 8 encounter with Chelsea. Archie Gray’s recent form makes that an easier decision for De Zerbi. Andrew Robertson was rested for the draw at Old Trafford following a busy international break with Scotland, and could threaten Destiny Udogie's starting role, although the Italian will likely retain his spot following a decent showing in Manchester. Lucas Bergvall wasn’t spotted in training footage ahead of the trip to the Iberian Peninsula, with his absence unexplained. Mateus Fernandes didn’t feature either but that’s likely because he just became a father for the first time. So there’s some uncertainty over who partners Sandro Tonali in the middle, with Rodrigo Bentancur suspended. However, an unchanged front six is perhaps the most likely scenario, meaning Omar Marmoush misses out again. Mohammed Kudus impressed on his first league start since January, while Dominic Solanke was presented with three big chances, his best tally in a match for two seasons. At the back, Micky van de Ven should return despite Marcos Senesi performing well in his absence.
