Six Premier League matches get underway at 15:00 GMT today, with Liverpool and Manchester City among the dozen teams in action.

Sergio Aguero (£12.1m) has been named in Pep Guardiola’s starting XI for the first time in the league since Gameweek 8.

Just shy of 300,000 Fantasy managers sold the Argentina international in the lead-up to Gameweek 11.

Raheem Sterling (£12.1m), Kevin De Bruyne (£10.2m) and David Silva (£7.7m) also start.

Nicolas Otamendi (£5.4m), Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m), Benjamin Mendy (£6.0m) and Joao Cancelo (£5.3m) are the victims of Guardiola’s rotation roulette, however, with all four benched.

The Saints have made three changes from last Friday’s hammering by Leicester, with a switch of goalkeepers among the alterations.

Mohamed Salah (£12.4m) is fit to start and joins Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) and Sadio Mane (£11.9m) in a familiar-looking front three.

The Reds’ back four is unchanged, too.

Fabinho (£5.5m), who is on four yellow cards, is benched, with perhaps one eye on next weekend’s clash with Manchester City.

Jack Grealish (£5.9m) has not recovered a calf injury and misses out, with Anwar El Ghazi (£5.5m) replacing him.

Unai Emery has recalled Mesut Ozil (£7.2m) to his starting XI for the first time in the Premier League since Gameweek 5.

Nicolas Pepe (£9.3m) makes way for the German, while Granit Xhaka (£5.3m) is excluded from the matchday squad as expected.

Nuno Espirito Santo sticks with the side that started Wolves’ 1-1 draw at Newcastle last Sunday.

Todd Cantwell (£4.8m) has been benched for the first time this season, with Onel Hernandez (£5.3m) taking his place.

Graham Potter has named the same 11 players who started against Everton last Saturday, meanwhile.

West Ham are also unchanged from last weekend, while Steve Bruce recalls Isaac Hayden (£4.4m) and Jonjo Shelvey (£5.0m) for the Longstaff brothers.

There is only one change to the starting XIs at Bramall Lane, with Lys Mousset (£4.9m) replacing Callum Robinson (£5.3m) for the hosts.

Chris Wood (£6.2m) misses out again for Burnley.

Arsenal XI: Leno, Chambers, Papastathopoulos, Luiz, Tierney, Guendouzi, Torreira, Ozil, Ceballos, Lacazette, Aubameyang.

Wolves XI: Patricio, Dendoncker, Coady, Saiss, Doherty, Moutinho, Neves, Jonny, Traore, Jimenez, Jota.

Aston Villa XI: Heaton, Guilbert, Engels, Mings, Targett, McGinn, Nakamba, Douglas Luiz, El Ghazi, Trezeguet, Wesley.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Lallana, Salah, Firmino, Mané.

Brighton XI: Ryan, Montoya, Webster, Dunk, Burn, Gross, Pröpper, Stephens, Alzate, Maupay, Connolly.

Norwich XI: Krul, Lewis, Godfrey, Tettey, Aarons, Trybull, Buendia, McLean, Stiepermann, Hernández, Pukki.

Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Stones, Fernandinho, Angelino, Gundogan, Silva, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Sterling, Aguero.

Southampton XI: McCarthy, Valery, Bednarek, Stephens, Vestergaard, Hojbjerg, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Armstrong, Ings, Redmond.

Sheffield United XI: Henderson, Basham, O’Connell, Egan, Baldock, Fleck, Lundstram, Norwood, Stevens, McGoldrick, Mousset.

Burnley XI: Pope, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Pieters, Hendrick, Westwood, Cork, McNeil, Rodriguez, Barnes.

West Ham XI: Roberto, Zabaleta, Balbuena, Diop, Cresswell, Rice, Yarmolenko, Noble, Snodgrass, Felipe Anderson, Haller.

Newcastle XI: Dubravka, Yedlin, Fernandez, Lascelles, Clark, Willems, Almiron, Hayden, Shelvey, Saint-Maximin, Joelinton.

    Sterling already 2 dispossessions

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 8 months ago

      World class players tend to lose the ball almost every time they touch it. These days at least

        *Worst class

      Salah matching him there too.

    Southampton only played Man City on Tuesday. Southampton will have learnt how to keep it tight from that game.

      Good one

    2. Differential C (Mark)

      You would think so.

    Solskjaer has now lost more PL games as a manager than Jurgen Klopp, despite taking charge of 104 fewer games.

    GGMU!

      Just sent this into a group chat filled with utd fans ! 😆

    I brought Sterling in because Mark said Mendy was nailed. If he hadnt given that advice I would have kept Salah. All the blame will be put on this site if Sterling (C) fails today...

      Take responsibility for your team and actions!

    2. Pumpkinhead

      No, the blame is on you. You don't have to listen to anything people say, you choose to.

      You think a player just back from injury will play every game

      Particularly when there are two more important games ahead

    5. rozzo
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Thats why your rank is rubbish.

      Do your own thing not copy everyone else

      1. Pumpkinhead
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Always chasing

    6. The Bandit

        Good evening, having a good Game week so far? I have 1 from 1 with our favorite troll C. Wilson!

        1. JIMMY TUGGINS
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          3 from 2 before the 3pms, Wilson and Martial, that Wilson booking disgusted me. You getting rid of him?

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Mood killer when that happens

      1. Epic Fail
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Always ruins the mood for me when the bus driver chucks us off.

          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Wait. I dont know you IRL do I?

          Cos that happened to my mates literally the other night. Weird coincidence 😆

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years

      They shoudl cross it towards the Left CB area. Jannik and Jack wont know how to head a ball.

  6. Monkey Hanger
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Ozil used to be 10.5mil in his heyday.

  7. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Mendy will be on if this keeps up.

  8. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Wesley should score but he forget to head the ball.

  9. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Theres still fluid in Salahs foot I reckon

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      He’s not right at all.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      There is, but it’s easy to play with it still

    3. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah doesn't look right, however positionally way more central today thankfully

      1. Free Hat
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        If only he would keep the ball now

    4. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I sure hope so for his sake.

  10. Jindaljain
    • 11 Years

  13. Hulk Smash
    • 10 Years

    Unable to watch the City game but Aston Villa should be ahead already against Liverpool, two great chances

    1. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Nah just the one the 2nd chance was offside

    Salah is never going to score when he’s carrying around all that fluid!

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      He will

    2. Free Hat
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago
