Richarlison fit to start but Fraser drops to the bench

Following West Ham United’s 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the early kick-off, four more Premier League matches get underway at 15:00 BST.

Crystal Palace host Everton, Fulham entertain Cardiff City, Southampton take on Bournemouth, and Watford play Wolverhampton Wanderers in a rematch of their FA Cup semi-final.

Richarlison is fit to start at Selhurst Park, despite being described as a “major doubt” by his manager on Friday.

Lucas Digne has recovered from his own minor injury as Marco Silva names the same starting XI that beat Manchester United last Sunday.

Patrick van Aanholt returns at the expense of Joel Ward in Roy Hodgson’s only change.

Despite slight concerns for owners of Wolves assets over possible rotation, Nuno Espirito Santo keeps faith with the same 11 players that beat Arsenal in midweek.

Javi Gracia has made three changes to his defence, however, with Adrian Mariappa, Kiko Femenia and Jose Holebas replacing Christian Kabasele, Daryl Janmaat and Adam Masina.

Ralph Hasenhuttl looks to have changed shape this afternoon and has reverted to a back four.

Danny Ings and Yan Valery come in for Stuart Armstrong and the ill Maya Yoshida but Shane Long and Ryan Bertrand are fit to start.

Scott Parker and Neil Warnock have made one change apiece for their meeting at Craven Cottage this afternoon.

Tom Cairney returns at the expense of Jean Michael Seri for the Cottagers, while Leandro Bacuna replaces the injured Joe Ralls for Cardiff.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, van Aanholt, Dann, Kelly, Wan-Bissaka, Meyer, Kouyate, McArthur, Milivojevic, Benteke, Zaha.

Subs: Ward, Townsend, Hennessey, Ayew, Batshuayi, Sako, Riedewald.

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Zouma, Digne, Gueye, Schneiderlin, Bernard, Sigurdsson, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin.

Subs: Jagielka, Walcott, Tosun, McCarthy, Stekelenburg, Lookman, Baines.

Fulham XI: Rico, Odoi, Ream, Le Marchand, Bryan, Anguissa, Chambers, Babel, Cairney, Sessegnon, Mitrovic.

Subs: Kebano, Ayite, Christie, Seri, Mawson, Ramirez, Elliott.

Cardiff City XI: Etheridge, Peltier, Morrison, Manga, Bennett, Bacuna, Gunnarsson, Mendez-Laing, Camarasa, Hoilett, Niasse.

Subs: Richards, Ward, Reid, Cunningham, Harris, Brian Murphy, Healey.

Southampton XI: Gunn, Valery, Bednarek, Stephens, Bertrand, Hojbjerg, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Redmond, Ings, Long.

Subs: Austin, Armstrong, Lemina, Targett, Sims, Forster, Ramsay.

Bournemouth XI: Boruc, Aké, Cook, Simpson, Clyne, Gosling, Mepham, Lerma, Brooks, King, Wilson.

Subs: Mousset, Ibe, Hyndman, Fraser, Begovic, Solanke, Surridge.

Watford XI: Foster, Femenia, Cathcart, Mariappa, Holebas, Hughes, Doucoure, Capoue, Pereyra, Gray, Deulofeu.

Subs: Gomes, Janmaat, Success, Masina, Sema, Chalobah, Kabasele.

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Patricio, Bennett, Coady, Boly, Doherty, Dendoncker, Moutinho, Neves, Jonny, Jimenez, Jota.

Subs: Ruddy, Cavaleiro, Costa, Gibbs-White, Saiss, Vinagre, Traore.

      He trolls me every time.
      Got him back and benched him, was expecting more from Everton.
      I deserve the punishment

    Topped my ML all season and now second place has 90+ and counting with every player scoring and a few still to play and I’m on 13 points. Can’t believe it hahaha

    Anyone else bench JWP and likely not going to get his points?

    1. Ady87
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 15 hours ago

      Benched Mane (was on bench for BB last week and forgot to swap back)

      1. Wild Rover

        Casual 😉

        1. Ady87
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 15 hours ago

          I really am.

        Ouch. He shouldn't have been on your bench in the first place though.

          5 years, 15 hours ago

          Guess it didn’t really matter last week, was one of my only non-DGW players, just a routine swap back, I even made a transfer, just forgot to do that and forgot to change armband.

      Lol, same here.....at least Firmino still made me justice that way as yesterday I was pissed off not to get more points due to one less Liverpool player, whilst everyone else getting off points from their defenders.

    3. SkeletONv01
      • 6 Years

      Same for me!

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 15 hours ago

      That never happened before..... 😀
      They should just give Holebas a yellow during the warm up it would save the bother later on.

  17. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 15 hours ago

    Damnnnn no way did Højbjerg get an assist! Maaan! Wish you’d done that on BB last GW!

    1. Steve Stiffler
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 15 hours ago

      Same, chances of Duffy Sterling Bilva or Aguero being benched are light too....

      1. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 15 hours ago

        I've got jwp to come in for trippier and gray as 2nd sub, but it would mean kun or sterling not playing as laporte or Duffy not playing would bring in bednarek (3rd sub)instead. If you understand that.

  18. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 15 hours ago

    Jay Dubya Pee coming in first sub for Bobby, one more G or A would be NICE

    Coady gets shot at the back, Deulofeu waves frantically for hand. They train them good at Barca academy
