Simultaneous top-flight Saturday 3pm BST kick-offs make a welcome return today, with five Premier League matches getting underway at the traditional time.

Patson Daka (£7.5m) and Kelechi Iheanacho (£7.5m) are both on the bench for Leicester City’s clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers, as Brendan Rodgers goes with Harvey Barnes (£7.0m) and Ayoze Perez (£6.0m) to support Jamie Vardy (£10.5m) in attack.

£4.0m defender Daniel Amartey starts, while Luke Thomas (£4.5m) is deputising at left-back after Ryan Bertrand (£5.0m) tested positive for Covid-19.

Bruno Lage has opted for a 3-4-3 for his first Wolves match, with the starting XI not showing too many shocks. Nelson Semedo (£5.0m) is only fit enough for a place on the bench, however, with budget FPL defender Ki-Jana Hoever (£4.0m) starting in his stead.

Aston Villa are not only without the departed Jack Grealish (£8.0m) but also Ollie Watkins (£7.5m), who misses out with a bruised knee.

New signings Emiliano Buendia (£6.5m), Danny Ings (£8.0m) and Ashley Young (£5.0m) all start, the latter seemingly in an ‘out of position’ midfield role, with Leon Bailey (£6.5m) and Axel Tuanzebe (£4.5m) on the bench.

Watford boss Xisco Munoz hands debuts to new signings Emmanuel Dennis (£5.0m) and Juraj Kucka (£5.5m).

Troy Deeney (£5.5m) is on the bench.

Trevoh Chalobah (£5.0m) makes his Premier League debut for Chelsea at centre-half.

N’Golo Kante (£5.0m) and Hakim Ziyech (£7.5m) are both injured, while Kai Havertz (£8.5m) is among the substitutes after his two-hour run-out in midweek.

Romelu Lukaku (£11.5m) is not available because he is quarantining after his move from Inter Milan.

Marc Guehi (£4.5m) starts for Palace in Patrick Vieira’s first match in charge but fellow summer recruit Joachim Andersen (£4.5m) is on the bench.

Adam Armstrong (£6.0m) gets his Southampton debut up front alongside Che Adams (£7.0m), with Nathan Tella (£5.0m) only among the substitutes.

£4.0m FPL defender Tino Livramento and Romain Perraud (£5.0m) also make their Saints bows.

Richarlison (£7.5m) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£8.0m) start for Everton, who also include new signings Andros Townsend (£5.5m) and Demarai Gray (£5.5m) in the starting XI.

James Rodriguez (£7.0m) is one of five players who are isolating but Lucas Digne (£5.5m) features.

Nick Pope (£5.5m) is between the posts for Burnley as Jay Rodriguez (£5.5m) gets the nod to support Chris Wood (£7.0m) up top.

Brighton are without Joel Veltman (£4.5m) for the trip to Turf Moor.

    Do Wolves look like scoring?

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Coady just scored but was offside

    2. lilmessipran
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Oh absolutely.. creating a lot no end product though

    Robbie Savage is the Charlie Nicholas of BT. Attention seeking clown.

    1. Tabasco

      He's brilliant entertainment, just like Chris Sutton.

  3. AC/DC AFC

  4. Gudjohnsen

    Leicester lucky today

  5. JONALDINHO

    Looks like Southampton, Palace, Newcastle, Norwich and Leeds at home are the teams to target. Brentford, Watford, Wolves are more solid than I thought

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Brentford could be a bit leaky away though

    2. lilmessipran
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Not a large enough sample size to make that conclusion..I am sure Leeds will keep more clean sheets than the others mentioned above

      ARS says hello

      1. Qaiss

        5 years, 4 days ago

        Arsenal nowadays are poor against the lesser teams and better against the stronger teams.

        1. Greasy Grealish Gang
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

          Isn't Arsenal a lesser team?

    4. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Lol, Newcastle haven't played yet and might also turn out to be more solid than you thought.

    5. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      You make predictions without having even seen all mentioned teams playing? Based on what?

    6. Drexl Spivey
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Ritchie goal brewing...

  6. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years

    Anyone watching the Leicester Wolves game? Just want to know how Harvey Barnes was

    1. lilmessipran
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Pretty quiet overall

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Not really involved first half, second half had decent chances but made the wrong decision and then was subbed around 70 mins

    3. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Selfish

    4. Steinburg FC
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

  8. lespaul
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Vestergaard is the Leicester guard

  9. Stupendous
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    How was Barnes?

    Worth keeping?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Not if he gets subbed early

    2. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
