All Premier League Teams Predicted GW27 Lineups

Arsenal

Arsenal have once again showed they are a champion side after another fairytale comeback 3-2 win over Bournemouth at home. The late winner came from the boot of Reiss Nelson in the 7th minute of additional time.

Odegaard missed the midweek Europa league game and is a doubt due to illness. Vieira could slot in as the replacement. Injury doubts to Nketiah, Trossard could mean Martinelli playing as striker with either injury time hero Nelson or Smith Rowe playing in left wing. Jesus is back in full training and is likely to be eased on as a substitute.

Arteta on the comeback win:

“It’s probably the loudest and the most emotional moment that we have lived together. The journey that we’ve been on together and how the supporters and the players are gliding together. Adding into that moment, it’s really special.“

Arsenal GW27 Predicted Formation:

4-3-3

On Lewis Cook:

“Lewis Cook is back so it’s good to have him. The rest should be fairly similar to where we were last week.”

The last time the Bees were defeated in the Premier League was way back in October of last year and they have managed to remain unbeaten after a thrilling 3-2 victory at home against Fulham.

“Aubameyang’s had a slight problem with his back, so again he’s looking like he’ll miss the game.“

On N’Golo Kante:

“N’Golo won’t be in the squad, he still needs some more time to build up. We’re aiming maybe towards the game against Everton, but unfortunately not for tomorrow.“

On Mason Mount:

“He’s the same as everybody else, he wants to play. At the moment he’s just suffering with a slight injury so he probably needs a little bit more time before he’s available properly.“

“They are doing something with the team. Some long-term injured players need a process to adapt and to come back with the team. They are doing something with the team and in the next training session, we will evaluate where they are, if they can help us in the next game or if it’s better to wait.

“I think we need all the players. Of course in the last game we didn’t have many other options to substitute some attacking players but now we are working with more players and I suppose if everything is right in the next training session, we’ll have more options for the next game.”

Leicester City

Three losses on the run for the Foxes after a 1-0 defeat to Southampton away from home. They are only two points clear of the relegation zone in the 15th position. This makes it three consecutive matches where the Foxes have failed to score.

Liverpool

Phew! Where to start? Liverpool has certainly turned their season around. The biggest win in their history for Liverpool over their rivals, Manchester United. The FIFA-esque game saw Liverpool score 7 goals against United while managing to keep a clean sheet. Salah, Nunez, and Gakpo scored braces while Firmino picked up a solitary goal toward the end.

Newcastle United

Newcastle were serious European football contenders for the next season but their campaign seems to have slipped a bit after another loss, this time away to Manchester City. This loss means three consecutive losses for the Magpies across competitions and they are out of the top 5 in the Premier League trailing by one point to Liverpool in 5th.

Four yellow cards were picked up by Newcastle in the match. Joelinton picked up his 10th yellow card of the season and he will miss the next 2 matches against Wolves and Forest.

If he is not fit for the game he will for sure [be fit] for the midweek game against Brentford. As I have said, we are learning together and that’s a lesson for him.“

Spurs

Despite a 1-0 loss to Wolves away from home, Spurs are really solidifying their spot in the top four but could face a tough fight from Liverpool who are themselves turning their season around.

Kulusevski picked up a yellow card. No other suspensions were picked up by Spurs. Emerson and Perisic are unlikely to make the starting 11 due to injuries.

Today, he did have a training session, but we need the players to be 100 per cent. For this reason, tomorrow, I will ask him if he’s also okay to be on the bench.“

Further on Ivan Perisic:

“It’s another situation to monitor. He had a training session today but tomorrow, for sure, I want to speak with him to understand if he’s available at least for the bench.“

Other injuries in the camp:

Lloris, Bissouma, Bentancur and Sessegnon are still out.

West Ham

West Ham is now only one point clear of the relegation zone managing only one win in their last 5 games. The latest in the list is a 4-0 defeat against Brighton away from home.
