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.

      Maybe for free depending on the price.

      Ings/Toney to Ronaldo and downgrade Bruno/TAA/Salah to stay with 3 at the back, or downgrade 2 of Ings/Toney/Benrahma/Raphinha (probably involving a hit) and go with 4 at the back.

    C'mon on Tony and Toney score the winners.

    Pickfraud basically loses his saves point by getting a yellow...

  4. Total Slotball
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Wow Elliot in. Big faith. Could be more of a 4222 shape with Elliot/Mane flanking and Bobby/Mo central. Maybe Klopp sees the TAA/Elliot/Mo combination as a way of exploiting Alonso defensively?

    1. FPL_trail_runner
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Will be the same as last week but Firmino more central and withdraw i would expect

      Elliot rcm

      1. Total Slotball
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Hendo always drifts to the right. So would be strange dynamics if it's a 433

    2. Hy liverpool

      I would liked you to start..

        supersub 😉

    3. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Klopp has been telling Elliott to go wide right to maintain width, allows TAA to drift into a CAM position and Salah to get into the box more

    4. JONALDINHO
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It’s a 433. No need to complicate it. Elliot right centre mid

      1. Total Slotball

        He changed shape and went 4 attackers vs City away last season

      My anger/annoyance has gone so far, it’s turned into humouring me instead.

    Ffs. Could’ve been a big haul for Livramento and now he has a single bloody point!

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Get used to it. He plays for Southampton.

    2. TorresMagic™

      Haul when benched.

    3. Khark
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Livramento / Williams take your pick for the 4.0m defender and probably play them on the bench every week.

      These frustrations will be common.

    4. FPL Pillars

      Big haul, why?

    Well this last 10min or so of PL matches have been kinda zzzZZ in FPL terms.

    1. Egg noodle
      5 years, 1 month ago

      The post above contradicts your statement

      1. JBG
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I think he was posting in 2017 or whenever Alexis Sanchez had his hattrick.

  15. Sim Simma

    Livra to take Pen ?

  16. Royal5

    Awful pass by Antonio

  17. SADIO SANÉ

    Soton pen

  18. Postman Ty

    Man Antonio just missed the easiest pass of the game to Benrahma...

    1. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, that was a shank

    2. dark91
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He is done. Could barely run

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 1 month ago

        After 93.5 mins...

        1. dark91
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Yes I am not criticising him 🙂

    3. JBG
      5 years, 1 month ago

      His passing is not the best...

    4. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      that was a hard pas what are you talking about. Benrahma getting closed down behind and keeper was already cutting down the pass. There was only about a tiny frame the pass needed to go into for an assist

      1. Postman Ty
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Mate don’t play forward if you think that was difficult. It was a half step inside and a ball between the defenders for a clean 1v1. He held it too long and tried going around the wrong way. He was just tired.

    5. Egg noodle
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Lost baps too

      DCL 3bps for a penalty and not much else is annoying as a non-owner!

    Well done Palace, great come back. Impressed with Gallagher.
