FPL Team News + Predicted Line-ups

Latest News: Mikel Arteta, with a wry smile, said he "cannot confirm" that Viktor Gyokeres (muscle) and Gabriel Martinelli (muscle) will miss out this weekend. It is thought, however, that the pair will remain on the unavailable list, along with Martin Odegaard (knee), Noni Madueke (knee), Kai Havertz (knee) and the just-back-in-training Gabriel Jesus (knee). Arteta also seemed to give the game away elsewhere in his press conference, saying that "nobody new can join the squad" and that "we don’t have Viktor". Also absent from Tuesday’s victory over Slavia Prague, for unknown reasons, was Kepa Arrizabalaga, with Martin Zubimendi also missing - albeit just through suspension. Zubimendi did train on Monday, indeed, despite coming off in Gameweek 10 with a muscular issue of his own. Arteta didn't rotate much for the win over Slavia, handing rests only to Riccardo Calafiori and Eberechi Eze, who presumably will return on Wearside at the expense of Piero Hincapie and Ethan Nwaneri. Zubimendi, assuming he's fit, will also oust Christian Norgaard, with Mikel Merino continuing up top. Ben White, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Cristhian Mosquera offer fresh legs at the back but with a clean sheet record to break and given how well Sunderland have started the season, it'd be a surprise if Arteta opts to shake up what is unquestionably now Arsenal's first-choice back four.

Latest News: Emiliano Buendia (foot) and Youri Tielemans (calf) returned to training this week and indeed were involved against Maccabi Tel Aviv on Thursday. In his pre-match presser, Unai Emery even said that Tielemans, a medium-term absentee, "maybe can start" against Bournemouth on Sunday. As for the rest, Tyrone Mings (hamstring) has joined the injury list and may be out until 2026, and Andres Garcia (unspecified) is still “weeks” away. Lesser-used loanee Harvey Elliott will at least return in Gameweek 11: he couldn’t face his parent club last weekend. Emery rested several of his regulars on Thursday night, making five line-up changes and taking Morgan Rogers and Pau Torres off early. Two of the Gameweek 10 starters who stayed on longer could be at risk this weekend, with Amadou Onana and especially Evann Guessand potentially making way for Tielemans (if fully fit) and Emi Buendia. Emery could alternatively revisit the Gameweek 7 tactics of playing Donyell Malen alongside Ollie Watkins, with John McGinn and Morgan Rogers out wide.

Latest News: Andoni Iraola said he has no serious injury concerns ahead of Sunday’s game at Aston Villa. Antoine Semenyo, Tyler Adams and Alex Jimenez have all recovered from the minor knocks they suffered at Manchester City last Sunday, while the only player Iraola namechecked as being injured is Matai Akinmboni, who features more for the under-23s. That gives the Cherries' head coach plenty of choice for the trip to Aston Villa, with a change or two expected following last weekend's loss. There is a very good chance that Evanilson comes back in for Eli Kroupi Junior up top, with Justin Kluivert also potentially returning for Marcus Tavernier or David Brooks. At the rear, Bafode Diakite didn't cover himself in glory at the Etihad, so it's possible that Veljko Milosavljevi? gets a recall at centre-back.

Latest News: Benjamin Arthur (knee) has returned to training this week, leaving only Antoni Milambo (knee) and Josh Dasilva (knee) on the sidelines. Keith Andrews resisted the urge to move to a 3-5-2 for the tricky and ultimately fruitless trip to Crystal Palace, so you'd assume he's not about to ditch the 4-3-3 now that his side are back on home soil and facing a Newcastle side that are winless away from home. There could be changes within the same system, however, such as Aaron Hickey in for Kristoffer Ajer at left-back - although the latter offers plenty of height to help deal with the Magpies' set plays. Vitaly Janelt and Mathias Jensen are alternatives in the engine room, too, but this was nevertheless a starting XI that defeated both West Ham and Liverpool before having an off-day at Selhurst Park. Don't expect Andrews to throw the baby out with the bathwater just yet.

Latest News: Fabian Hurzeler said that Kauro Mitoma (knock) is "50/50" to make the Crystal Palace game this weekend, although the winger has not been included in the Japan squad for the upcoming internationals. Jack Hinshelwood (ankle), Brajan Gruda (knee), James Milner (muscle), Adam Webster (knee) and Solly March (knee) are still sidelined for the A23 derby, meanwhile, but Joel Veltman (calf) is fit. There won't be many changes, if any, for the trip to the old enemy. Diego Gomez bagged a brace from the left flank in the one attacking position that was up for grabs in Gameweek 10, while Ferdi Kadioglu continues to see off Maxim De Cuyper in defence. Hurzeler did talk of needing to combat Palace's strength at set plays ("they are one of the best teams in set pieces"), so there's an outside chance he plays a third centre-half in Diego Coppola and goes with the 3-4-3/5-4-1 he used at Arsenal in the EFL Cup last week. Youngsters Tommy Watson, Charalampos Kostoulas and Stefanos Tzimas, yet to start a league game between them this season, are the only fit attacking alternatives at present.

Latest News: Other than long-term absentees Jordan Beyer (hamstring), Connor Roberts (knee) and Zeki Amdouni (knee), Scott Parker said he had no major concerns for the trip to West Ham United. Hjalmar Ekdal should recover after receiving a black eye in training, while Lyle Foster is fit and has "trained in full this week", having missed out last weekend due to illness. After predictably switching to a more conservative back five for the visit of the league leaders, you could envisage Parker reverting to the back-four set-up that brought wins over Leeds and Wolves in the previous two outings. Josh Laurent would make way if that does happen, with Jacob Bruun Larsen or Loum Tchaouna coming in on the right wing. Foster's return will put pressure on Zian Flemming up top, meanwhile.

Latest News: Romeo Lavia (quad) has joined Cole Palmer (groin), Benoit Badiashile (muscle), Levi Colwill (knee), Dario Essugo (thigh) and Mykhailo Mudryk (suspended) on the sidelines. Pedro Neto could be back, however: he wasn’t risked in Wednesday’s draw with Qarabag because of a “small issue” but had a "good" session with the physio and will train on Friday. As for the midweek exertions in Baku, Maresca said his squad were "okay" - and seven of last weekend's starters were rotated out of the side anyway. Also rested was Josh Acheampong, although Maresca seemed to hint that Trevoh Chalobah and Wesley Fofana would go again at centre-half when highlighting their contribution to the clean sheet against Spurs. Acheampong, interestingly, was namechecked as a possible option in midfield if Maresca ever needed to rest Moises Caicedo, who was forced on early in Azerbaijan when Lavia hobbled off. Joao Pedro being taken off at 71 minutes may have been an indication that he was being preserved for Saturday but Liam Delap and Marc Guiu also didn't start, so there are options up top - including Pedro behind one of the other strikers. Another candidate for a breather (despite what his manager said recently about being able to play three times a week) is Reece James, who completed 90 minutes in the Champions League. Malo Gusto not playing a single minute poured further fuel on that fire.

Latest News: Rio Cardines (abductor), Eddie Nketiah (hamstring), Cheick Doucoure (knee) and Caleb Kporha (back) were all unavailable for UEFA Conference League duty in midweek but Adam Wharton (illness) was involved as a substitute, while long-term absentee Chadi Riad (knee) is back in training. Oliver Glasner conducted his Gameweek 11 press conference in the aftermath of Thursday's win over AZ Alkmaar. While there's always the chance that issues could rear their head between that game and Sunday's A23 derby, Glasner was confident that his squad had come through unscathed - including Marc Guehi, who took a knock but said he was "fine". As for Ismaila Sarr, he complained of a hamstring "tightness" *before* the AZ game yet still started and lasted an hour. Glasner's comments certainly made the early-ish substitution sound more like a manager preserving a player for Sunday's game. Assuming Sarr and Guehi are okay, the only question mark really is over Wharton. Glasner said that the England international was "feeling his chest" and "not completely free" on Thursday but again, it did sound like the Palace boss wanted his influential midfielder to get some valuable stamina-building minutes in before the 'local' rivals visit on Sunday.

Latest News: Jarrad Branthwaite (hamstring) and Nathan Patterson (foot/hernia) remain out but David Moyes confirmed that Iliman Ndiaye has trained fully today and is "fine", having hobbled out of the draw with Sunderland on Monday. Moyes' side is possibly the most settled in the division - bar one spot. All but one of this predicted XI has started every league match they've been available for in the last nine Gameweeks, with the exception being the centre-forward. Thierno Barry came in for Beto in Gameweek 10 but didn't do any better than his misfiring positional rival, ballooning over the bar from three yards before coming off early in the second half. Potentially the only question this week, then, is whether Moyes takes Barry immediately out of the firing line or gives him another chance to impress against Fulham. Tyler Dibling, Charly Alcaraz, Dwight McNeil and Merlin Rohl continue to fester on the bench, with their manager reluctant to change much in midfield.

Latest News: The Cottagers recovered a whopping six players from injury last weekend, which left only Antonee Robinson (knee) on the sidelines. The left-back remains Fulham's only absentee for Gameweek 11. It's likely fitness that will determine which of the Cottagers' two forwards will get the nod this week: Raul Jimenez has been "playing under some pain" recently, while Rodrigo Muniz is not long back from a six-week lay-off but can contribute "60 or 70" minutes according to his manager. Elsewhere, you wonder if Marco Silva will revert to the more conservative Plan A and reinstate Sasa Lukic alongside Sander Berge in the engine room for this away game, even if it's 'only' Everton providing the opposition. That would see Alex Iwobi return to the left flank, with Kevin - who Silva challenged to find more "end product" - potentially bowing out. It's not a change many Fulham fans will like, and it'll be interesting to see if Silva is bold enough to stick with the more attacking XI of last weekend. We wouldn't expect many alterations elsewhere.

Latest News: Dominic Calvert-Lewin (adductor) faces a "tight race" to be back for the weekend, with both the striker and defender Sebastiaan Bornauw (knee) described as "question marks" for Sunday's game. Daniel Farke otherwise said his squad was fine, which suggests that Jayden Bogle (illness) is okay after he was forced off in the defeat at the Amex last Saturday. Wilfried Gnonto (calf/hernia) has been back in training for two weeks and is "available", so his inclusion in the matchday squad is now just a question of team selection, rather than anything injury-related. Lukas Nmecha has typically come on for Calvert-Lewin in recent games, with Joel Piroe barely used since Gameweek 1, so he'll be the favourite to get the nod if the former Everton striker misses out. Further changes are possible after last week's loss, too, with Lucas Perri, Jaka Bijol and Ao Tanaka not covering themselves in glory since they were promoted to the side in Gameweek 9. Farke meanwhile said that Daniel James was "able to start", although did add that he wanted to "find a good balance between creators and players who are perhaps a bit more straightforward" out wide. In doing so, he might have hinted that it was an either/or between James and Noah Okafor.

Latest News: Alexander Isak (groin) will return to training for the first time in over a fortnight on Friday, so he could be involved against Manchester City this weekend - if only as a substitute. Jeremie Frimpong (hamstring) and Alisson (hamstring) remain out, however, with the latter aiming to return in Gameweek 12. Stefan Bajcetic (hamstring), Jayden Danns (hamstring) and Giovanni Leoni (ACL) are also still unavailable – not that any of them would be troubling the starting XI anyway. Arne Slot must be tempted to stick with the same XI from the Real Madrid game in what was the Reds' most complete performance of the season. In terms of feasible changes, the Liverpool boss could bring Cody Gakpo back in for Florian Wirtz if he wants a more natural wide-forward to run in behind City's high line - not that the Dutchman is the quickest anyway. There's also the possibility of Slot revisiting the bespoke tactics from this fixture last season, in which he didn't field a striker and opted for Curtis Jones and Dominik Szoboszlai as dual '10s'. In terms of fatigue, Andrew Robertson and Alexis Mac Allister are the only two Liverpool players to have started the last three matches in league and cup. Slot said that he would have to "wait and see" if Robertson is fit enough to continue his run in the side but a Tuesday-Sunday turnaround is about as good as you could wish for at this time of year, so time is on the Scot's side.

Latest News: Mateo Kovacic (ankle) rejoined the injury list last weekend and will be out “for a while”, while it sounds like Rodri will not be risked after another fitness setback. One player you can be confident about starting on Sunday, then, is the much-improved Nico Gonzalez. Phil Foden's superb form is such that there's little doubt that he'll start against Liverpool (Pep Guardiola pretty much confirmed it in his post-Dortmund presser), so the question in midfield is over which two of Tijjani Reijnders, Bernardo Silva and Rayan Cherki will Guardiola perm. The City boss claimed Reijnders didn't start in Gameweek 10 because he was "not completely fit" and "couldn’t train" in the week beforehand, so given how much he's trusted the Dutchman this season, there's every chance he is back in the middle against the reigning champions. Bernardo is so often the man Guardiola turns to on the big stage, too (whatever the role), so it may be Cherki who misses out, despite last week's heroics. Then again, it's often in the showpiece fixtures in which the City boss goes off-piste and tries something unexpected - note Rico Lewis as a right-winger at Anfield last season! Abdudokir Khusanov is a possibility at right-back if Guardiola desires more recovery pace against Liverpool's attack, while at the other end, might this be a game for Omar Marmoush given the Reds' high line?

Latest News: Ruben Amorim wasn't asked about the latest team news but we're not aware of Manchester United having any fresh concerns for their trip to Tottenham Hotspur. Lisandro Martinez (knee) returned to training last week, with United set to take time with his recovery after so long out. The Red Devils are on a four-match unbeaten run but we could see changes regardless, with the fit-again Harry Maguire a possibility to return at centre-half, likely at the expense of Leny Yoro, considering that Spurs are a bigger set-piece threat under Thomas Frank. Diogo Dalot had a shocker in Gameweek 10 and could drop out, too, although Patrick Dorgu hasn't exactly been great himself this season. Finally, in attack, this could be a high-octane gamer more suited to an energetic presser such as Mason Mount - see the victory over Liverpool last month when he started over Benjamin Sesko.

Latest News: Anthony Gordon is a big doubt for the trip to Brentford this weekend, despite being named in the England squad. The winger came off in the first half of Newcastle’s win over Athletic Club on Wednesday, thanks to the recurrence of a hip problem. Eddie Howe said on Friday - shortly before Thomas Tuchel's squad list was published - that there is "every chance" that Gordon will miss out in Gameweek 11, while Will Osula (ankle) has also been added to the injury list this week. Yoane Wissa (knee) has joined Tino Livramento (knee) in returning to the grass but is looking at a playing comeback on the other side of the international break, while Lewis Hall almost certainly isn't ready to start despite marking his comeback from injury with a cameo in midweek. Howe mostly trusted the same players who flopped at West Ham to make amends against Athletic Club, so changes will again likely be in short supply on Sunday. Jacob Murphy seems to have the edge over Anthony Elanga at present and will likely come in on the right, with Harvey Barnes deputising for Gordon on the opposite flank. It's not out of the question that Lewis Miley or Jacob Ramsey comes in to offer fresh legs in midfield (perhaps for Joelinton) but against the long-throw aces of Brentford, and with an extra day of recovery, you'd think Howe would want his physical specimens present.

Latest News: Sean Dyche was another manager to conduct their Gameweek 11 press conference immediately after a European fixture on Thursday night, saying that it was "improbable" that Callum Hudson-Odoi (dead leg) and Chris Wood (knee) would be back this weekend. Douglas Luiz (hamstring) joined Dilane Bakwa (unspecified), Oleksandr Zinchenko (muscle), Ola Aina (hamstring) and Angus Gunn (knee) on the injury list earlier this week. As for Elliot Anderson, he wasn't risked against Sturm Graz as a precaution, with Dyche saying he was "carrying a number of injuries" - but also implying that it was more of a rest. The midfielder has, indeed, been named in the England squad for the upcoming internationals. Murillo, Matz Sels, Dan Ndoye and Igor Jesus should join Anderson in returning to the starting XI after their midweek breathers (Jesus was suspended in Europe), with one of Ryan Yates or Ibrahim Sangare set to partner Anderson in midfield. As for who comes in for Hudson-Odoi, and considering that Arnaud Kalimuendo and James McAtee were cramping on Thursday, a fully rested Omari Hutchinson - ineligible in Europe - might be in pole position. An alternative for Dyche is to play Anderson further forward, with Yates and Sangare in a flair-less midfield two.

Latest News: Omar Alderete (head) will again miss out in Gameweek 11: he has had to take a "step back" in his recovery from a concussion because of lingering symptoms. Elsewhere, Dennis Cirkin (wrist) and Romaine Mundle (hamstring) are nearing returns, with the former in action for the academy side on Friday night. Leo Hjelde (Achilles) is also back in training, with Aji Alese (shoulder) and Habib Diarra (groin) a bit further behind in their recoveries. Alderete's ongoing absence temporarily solves the headache at the back, and it seems likely that we'll see the 5-4-1/4-3-3 hybrid system again this weekend, with Trai Hume inverting into midfield. Bertrand Traore and Enzo Le Fee had excellent games on Monday night against Everton to suggest they'll see off the challenges of Simon Adingra and Chemsdine Talbi again, while Wilson Isidor has now been preferred to Eliezer Mayenda and Bryan Brobbey for seven straight league games. There's a very good chance of the same team being sent out for the third successive Premier League fixture, then.

Latest News: Dominic Solanke (ankle), James Maddison (knee), Radu Dragusin (knee), Archie Gray (calf), Koto Takai (foot), Dejan Kulusevski (knee), Yves Bissouma (ankle) and Ben Davies (muscle) are still sidelined, while Lucas Bergvall (concussion) will be unavailable in Gameweek 11. As for Mohammed Kudus, the early-week positivity has given way to more doubt: Thomas Frank said on Friday that the winger is "touch and go" for the visit of Manchester United. That could mean the front four that impressed against Copenhagen will get the chance to go again, although it's possible that Frank opts for Mathys Tel or Richarlison in attack given that Randal Kolo Muani has started twice already in the last week. Frank said on Friday that Kolo Muani is "fit to start and play" and had a "promising" game in midweek but added that he was not yet able to sustain the "highest possible intensity throughout 90 minutes". Elsewhere, Joao Palhinha surely comes back into the side, with Pape Matar Sarr either dropping out or redeployed elsewhere. At the back, the only real question mark is over whether Destiny Udogie can play twice in quick succession after his recent four-week absence. Djed Spence is an alternative option if needed.

Latest News: Konstantinos Mavropanos (muscle), Niclas Fullkrug (thigh), Oliver Scarles (collarbone), Lukasz Fabianski (back) and George Earthy (hamstring) remain unavailable, while Nuno Espirito Santo reported some other "knocks" in Thursday's presser - but didn't name any names. After much tinkering and some strange selections in his first five matches in charge, Nuno stumbled on the winning formula against Newcastle last weekend. Freddie Potts and Callum Wilson both did well in their first starts under their new manager, and you'd be surprised if the Hammers boss changed much this week after such a good collective display against the Magpies. The fly in the ointment could be those knocks, of course, and we will have to be prepared for a surprise omission or two given Nuno's reluctance to identify the injury concerns.

Latest News: Matt Doherty (knee) and Rodrigo Gomes (groin) remain on the injury list, with the club confirming this week that Gomes will be out until 2026. Emmanuel Agbadou also serves a one-match ban this weekend, while Leon Chiwome (knee) is still unavailable. James Collins will take caretaker charge after the dismissal of Vitor Pereira, with the interim boss - who is also the Wolves under-21 coach - suggesting that he might involve a few academy products, with Tawanda Chirewa, Mateus Mane and Enso Gonzalez all namechecked. Tactically, Collins has mostly been using a wing-back system with the academy side this season, and packing the defence might be the way to go regardless away at Chelsea. Pereira's teamsheets had descended into farce by Gameweek 10, with Joao Gomes and Andre both benched, so Collins may look to reestablish some order and go back to basics. The side here isn't too far from the one that caused Chelsea plenty of trouble in the second half of the recent EFL Cup tie between the two sides, with David Moller Wolfe - a two-goal scorer in that match - an alternative to Hugo Bueno at wing-back.
