All Premier League Teams Predicted GW20 Lineups

Arsenal

Mikel Arteta had the same line-up against Newcastle as they had in their 4-2 win against Brighton. The match ended up being a goalless fight, as the in-form Newcastle United were able to keep the league leaders on a leash. Arsenal seems pretty fixed on their current line-up and are expected to continue with the same against Spurs.

Arsenal GW20 Predicted formation:

4-3-3

Arsenal GW20 Predicted lineup:

Ramsdale,

White – Saliba – Gabriel – Zinchenko

Xhaka – Partey – Odegaard

Arsenal PC/Injury Update:

Gabriel Jesus and Reiss Nelson are still ruled out due to injury. Emile Smith Rowe is back from his injury, coming in as a substitute against Oxford United in the FA Cup. Here are Arteta’s comments ahead of the NLD(via Arsenal website)

Mikel Arteta believes that Gabriel Jesus’ recovery from his knee injury is going well, however doesn’t expect his striker to be back in action in the near future.

“He’s working really hard. He’s in the right place in his recovery regarding the time that we set for him, but he’s still a bit far [away] to be back.

Saka fine after limping off against Oxford united in the FA Cup game.

Aston Villa

Emery made one change to Villa’s line-up after their massive 2-0 win against Spurs. Matty Cash started ahead of John McGinn (injury concerns). In GW19, they drew against Wolverhampton Wanderers, with Ings scoring their only goal, coming off the bench. Martinez was back in the eleven.

Brighton

Brighton saw a lot of changes in their squad on their trip to Goodison Park. Trossard sat on the bench vs Everton and was entirely missing in the FA Cup game against Middlesbrough.
