NMA – FPL & Fantrax EPL GW-6 live chat on matchday

With Premier League games spread across Saturday, Sunday and even Monday, there is a lot for FPL managers to think about ahead of GW6. Cup competitions and midweek European games have created potential injuries, rotation risks and tired legs for some teams. Here you will find the latest injury news and match insights for the coming weekend.

Saturday September 28th

Newcastle vs Manchester City

In the matinee game of GW-6, Newcastle hosts defending champions Man City. Despite Newcastle's solid home form, they are without key striker Alexander Isak due to a toe injury, which could limit the Magpies' attacking threat.

City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne remains out and midfield engine Rodri is out for the season, which could give Newcastle a chance to score. However, Erling Haaland is in sensational form and is leading the race for the Golden Boot with ten goals so far.

Prediction: Newcastle 1-1 Man City

Arsenal vs Leicester

Arsenal will be looking to maintain their strong form at home against a Leicester side struggling for consistency. The Gunners were strong defensively but Oleksandr Zinchenko and Kieran Tierney are questionable. Leicester will be without Patson Daka, but the attack will still be led by Kelechi Iheanacho.

Prediction: Arsenal 3-2 Leicester

~

Everton vs Crystal Palace

Everton desperately need a win but host an in-form Palace team. The Toffees are likely to be without Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Nathan Patterson and James Tarkowski, while Palace have injury concerns of their own with Chris Richards, Chadi Riad and Matheus Franca. Trevoh Chalobah could be in the running and bolster his defensive options.

Prediction: Everton 2-1 Palace

~

Chelsea vs Brighton

Chelsea face a difficult test against Brighton. The Blues will miss Reece James, but Malo Gusto returns after serving a suspension. Romeo Lavia is back, which should help strengthen Chelsea's midfield.

Brighton, on the other hand, have Joao Pedro and Brajan Gruda listed as questionable, while key figures such as James Milner and Solly March are already sidelined.

Prediction: Chelsea 4-2 Brighton

Brentford vs West Ham

Brentford's injury list continues to grow, with Christian Norgaard (knee), Rico Henry (knee) and Mathias Jensen (calf) still out.

West Ham have some concerns of their own, with Mohammed Kudus likely to play an important role. Expect a close London derby.

Prediction: Brentford 1-1 West Ham

Nott'm Forest vs Fulham

Forest were inconsistent but Chris Wood was dangerous in front of goal.

Fulham will be without Carlos Vinicius, but Raul Jiménez should lead the attack. Forest's defensive struggles could cost them.

Prediction: Forest 0-1 Fulham

~

Wolves vs Liverpool

Wolves face a huge task against an in-form Liverpool. Wolves are missing Yerson Mosquera and Toti Gomes remains questionable, leaving them vulnerable at the back.

Mo Salah is in top form and Liverpool will look to continue their strong start to the season. The Reds should have Alisson back in goal after a minor injury scare.

Prediction: Wolves 0-3 Liverpool

Sunday, September 29th

Ipswich Town vs Aston Villa

Ipswich have struggled since returning to the Premier League and now host a Villa team brimming with confidence.

The Villans have some long-term absentees such as Tyrone Mings and Boubacar Kamara, but Ollie Watkins and Moussa Diaby should have enough firepower to get past the Tractor Boys.

Prediction: Ipswich 1-3 Aston Villa

~

Man United vs Tottenham

The weekend's marquis duel begins with Man United receiving a tough test from Tottenham. United are struggling with injuries to Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelöf but should have Rasmus Højlund back.

Tottenham may be without Richarlison but Son Heung-Min is expected to return. This encounter could be crucial for both teams.

Prediction: Man United 2-2 Tottenham

Monday, October 1st

Bournemouth vs Southampton

Bournemouth host Southampton in the game on Monday evening. Bournemouth have no new injury concerns but Tyler Adams remains out.

Southampton will be without Jack Stephens (suspension) and Kamaldeen Sulemana (ankle). This could be a low scoring affair as both teams struggle for consistency.

Prediction: Bournemouth 1-1 Southampton
