Six Premier League matches kick off at 15:00 BST today, with Manchester City v Brighton and Hove Albion among the games taking place this afternoon.

A number of key Fantasy Premier League assets have dropped to the bench, one of whom is Bernardo Silva: the Portugal international is replaced on the right flank by Riyad Mahrez for the second time this season.

Rodri ousts Ilkay Gundogan from central midfield in Pep Guardiola’s only other change.

Raheem Sterling, Sergio Aguero, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Kevin De Bruyne all start.

Graham Potter has had a bit of a reshuffle, with Solly March joining the front three and Bernardo coming in at left wing-back.

Adam Webster replaces Shane Duffy at centre-half, while there is another start for Leandro Trossard.

Fikayo Tomori makes his first start for Chelsea in place of Andreas Christensen, who drops to the bench.

That is Frank Lampard’s only change, with opposite number Chris Wilder also making only one alteration: Oli McBurnie in for David McGoldrick.

Ayoze Perez has paid the price for a sluggish start to the season as he drops to the bench for Leicester’s match with Bournemouth.

Ben Chilwell, Wilfred Ndidi, Harvey Barnes and Marc Albrighton are recalled as Christian Fuchs, Hamza Choudhury and Dennis Praet also make way.

Harry Wilson in for Charlie Daniels is Eddie Howe’s only change.

Javi Gracia has made three changes from the West Ham defeat and appears to be going with a wing-back system: Jose Holebas, the injured Etienne Capoue and Gerard Deulofeu make way, with Christian Kabasele, Daryl Janmaat and Roberto Pereyra taking their places.

Amid all the injury talk at Newcastle, there are only two changes: Christian Atsu and Jetro Willems in for the sidelined Allan Saint-Maximin and Matt Ritchie.

West Ham have named an unchanged side from their win against Watford, while Daniel Farke has made just one alteration from Gameweek 3: Christoph Zimmermann replacing the injured Grant Hanley at centre-back.

Dean Smith and Roy Hodgson have named unchanged teams from Gameweek 3 as Crystal Palace take on Aston Villa at Selhurst Park.

Chelsea XI: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Zouma, Tomori, Emerson, Jorginho, Kovacic, Pulisic, Barkley, Mount, Abraham.

    To be far to Sterling, he really has thrown himself into the celebrations, very well involved.

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      He should get a BAP for that

  2. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Sterling? 4 goals and no input?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah.

  3. PogChamp
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    4 goals and nothing for Sterling(c). Cruel game sometimes.

  4. Emiliano Sala
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Sterling(C). Laporte owner 😎

  6. Effe
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

      • 15 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Can you see it?

      1. Effe
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        It’s there now actually

  7. BobbyV
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Finally got a captain choice right...unless Salah or Mane score a hattrick

  8. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    4 goals and no sterling involvement

    ofcourse he's my captain

    1. Peter Ouch
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Depressing to watch

    2. Botman and Robben

  9. The Bandit
    • 15 Years

  10. Peter Ouch
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

  11. Podge
    • 15 Years

  12. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

  13. thepeen555
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Nothing from sterling typical

  14. Hect.OR 98th
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Aguero looking essential but I can't afford him and already have three City. Can't justify losing any of Sterling, KDB and Salah either.

  15. Bad Kompany
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Kun cappers unite!!!!!

    Fair play to those who took the calculated risk to get in Kun this week. Mad to think that he was a differential this week when nailed at home to Brighton.

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Kane, Rashford -> Kun(c), Haller (-4) 😎

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        How many times you going to tell us ?

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Wildcarders most of them so hardly calculated to be fair and the others had Kane. No credit from me , those who didn't captain him probably need to ask why. He was always the best option

  21. EMBOLOFAN
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    sterling so widely captained that it doesnt really matter tbh

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Salahs %?

    2. TAT
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Not in mini leagues…

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      It does when other people's captain has teared it up.

    4. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Apart from the Salah cappers who are going to be leaving us behind.

    5. Make FPL Casual Again
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Does if you captained Aguero....

  22. The Chosen One...
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    you know it's bad when Bilva scores more

  23. teddypicker
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Dammit, this should've been free hit gwk to get in Aguero captain

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Thank you captain hindsight

  24. Moderately content penguin
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Palace - apparently doomed to relegation - now up into top 4 🙂 🙂

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Sheff Utd, Norwich, Villa, Brighton, Newcastle are the relegation candidates. Nothing has changed since the start of the season IMO.

      Norwich can be involved in 3-2 thrillers and put in loads of effort, but doesn't matter if you still lose.

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      There was some article posted on here where an algorithm predicted palace top 8

  25. Dr. Conundrum Caveat

      rested

    3. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      No worries, I'll get Salah off the bench

  26. Pukki Blinders
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Aguero is a bully. Say no to bullying

  27. Make FPL Casual Again
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago
