There are five Premier League matches taking place at 15:00 BST today: Aston Villa v Brentford, Brighton v Everton, Newcastle v Southampton, Norwich v Leicester and West Ham United v Crystal Palace.

The headline team news from the Amex is that both of Brighton and Everton’s main strikers are fit, with Neal Maupay and Dominic Calvert-Lewin named in their respective sides’ starting XIs.

Albion boss Graham Potter makes just one change from last week’s win over Watford, with Jakub Moder replacing Solly March, who has a slight hamstring injury.

There are two alterations for Everton from their 2-2 draw with Leeds at Elland Road as Mason Holgate and Andros Townsend are preferred to Yerry Mina, who has a minor knock, and the benched Alex Iwobi, who complained of tightness in his abductor in Tuesday’s EFL Cup tie.

Brendan Rodgers has been forced into one change thanks to Ayoze Perez‘s suspension and it’s Marc Albrighton, not Kelechi Iheanacho, who deputises on the right flank.

£4.0m Fantasy Premier League (FPL) defender Brandon Williams and Kenny McLean replace Dimitrios Giannoulis and Lukas Rupp in Daniel Farke’s first two starting XI changes of the season.

Dean Smith has made three enforced tweaks to his Aston Villa line-up, with Tyrone Mings injured and John McGinn and Jacob Ramsey isolating after returning positive Covid-19 tests.

Axel Tuanzebe, Matt Targett and Carney Chukwuemeka are brought into the side but Ollie Watkins is only on the bench.

Brentford’s Thomas Frank makes just one change to the side that drew 0-0 at Crystal Palace last time out as Saman Ghoddos comes in for Frank Onyeka, who has tested positive for coronavirus.

Sean Longstaff starts in place of the injured Isaac Hayden for Newcastle United, while Kyle Walker-Peters and Mohamed Elyounoussi replace Romain Perraud and Theo Walcott for visitors Southampton.

      Why didn’t Richarlison take that? He’s their usual taker, not DCL?

      1. Egg noodle
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        DCL took it last week too

      2. JBG
        • 7 Years

        Looks like Benitez wants DCL on them.

          Veltman

          1. Rainer
            • 9 Years

      2. Marvin.
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        If DCL is the teams penalty taker then that's that isn't it? Richarlison needs to wind his neck in.

      3. Babit1967
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Yes Wilson

        Was hoping there would be Digne involvement if Sanchez had to lose his CS… but no of course not ffs
