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.

  20. Twisted Saltergater

    Formals could be the pick over Benrahma long term.

    But could Benrahma be striker if (when) Antonio is injured?

  21. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Need some Benrahma and Barnes action.

    Digne return also wouldn’t go amiss

  22. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Gray G

  23. shiraz

    Was contemplating between fornals and benrahma. In the end get on the benny train. But night os still young, ben still have chance

  24. TorresMagic™

    Need another Toney goal, biggest differential in higher ranks.

    1. have you seen cyan
      5 years, 1 month ago

  25. Licky
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Why is that not a goal? That seems like a silly rule.

  26. Random Name
    5 years, 1 month ago

    David Moyes is so disrespected. One of the best managers around

    1. Pep bites Kun
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It can happen to the best of managers. He was at certain points, but I don't think he is now. He's doing a cracking job!

  27. FPL Scoop
