Defender: William Saliba - 9.5 points 

Arsenal’s defence remains one of the best in the Premier League this season, despite trailing Liverpool and Nottingham Forest’s leading tally of 13 clean sheets. The Gunners sit two shut-outs off that, with 11 from 32 games this season, including four this calendar year.

However, they have been unlucky, with 14.97 expected clean sheets for the campaign. They’ve conceded the fewest number of goals (27) and big chances (43) on their goal this season, with just 299 shots faced on their goal. They’ve not conceded more than a goal per game in 2025.

William Saliba remains the outstanding target from their defence due to the injury to Gabriel, with two goals scored this season from three big chances on goal. Gabriel’s understudy, Jakub Kiwior, is friendlier on the budget, though at £1.7m cheaper, and is predicted to track closely to Saliba on 9.4 predicted points.

Midfielder: Bukayo Saka - 12.1 points

A Double Gameweek for Arsenal automatically sees Bukayo Saka at the top of the AI standings, as the best predicted captain pick for the double gameweek. The Gunners midfielder is a popular acquisition, topping the transfers in with 250,000 new owners.

His pedigree is sensational, with 17 goal involvements from 16 starts this season - six goals and 11 assists. He is key to set pieces for Arsenal, including penalties, but seeing him miss a spot-kick against Real Madrid in the Champions League is a concern with captain Martin Odegaard lurking.

Saka’s biggest barrier to making a 12-point haul is his minutes, having played around 90 minutes across three Premier League fixtures since returning from injury. He managed 77 minutes in Europe midweek, but progression to the semi-finals could see the Gunners be cautious with their star man.

Forward: Omar Marmoush - 10.4 points

Manchester City’s Omar Marmoush is the key forward target for the double. The Egyptian has impressed since arriving in the Premier League, with six goals and one assist across seven starts for the club, as Manchester City’s overall form has continued to improve.

The injury to Erling Haaland has seen Marmosuh cement himself as a regular in the side, starting all of their last four in the Premier League. In this time, he has amassed four goal involvements and could be set to take spot-kicks too in the absence of Haaland.

Manchester City come into their pair of games fresh after the last two midweeks off, which should help Marmoush continue to play close to 90 minutes. We do need to be aware of their involvement in the FA Cup semi-final the weekend after this pair of games.

Hidden Gem: Gabriel Martinelli - 10.2 points

It’s clear that Arsenal have the fixture advantage of all the sides who double in Gameweek 33, facing relegation candidates Ipswich Town before hosting Crystal Palace, who have just conceded 10 league goals in their last two games. The Gunners took wins from the reverse of these fixtures.

While Bukayo Saka’s minutes potential looks unclear, there are alternative ways of investing in their attack, with winger Gabriel Martinelli starting all of their last four games in the Premier League. He’s managed an assist in this time, but also scored in the Champions League on Wednesday.

That will be a big confidence booster for the Brazilian midfielder, who has amassed ten goal involvements in the Premier League in this campaign. He is in just 2.4% of teams and scored in the 5-1 win against Crystal Palace earlier this season.
