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.

  6. Jafooli
    5 years, 1 month ago

  7. Feloh

      F****** knew it

      1. The Knights Template
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I did too. Pukki in!

        1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Three troll gameweeks for me so far, except Bruno and Salah in GW1 (when everyone had them anyway).

          Might take a break for a while

  9. Random Name
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Experience is legit. 3 or 4 years ago i would've sold Toney. But after a decade of playing FPL i knew to be patient with him.

    My point is Arteta has 0 experience managing a club. Arteta Out.

  10. ☈☾

    KK knew

    Pukki goal

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…

      Sold him this week, hate this game I really do

  11. BeaversWithAttitude
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Söyüncü a complete disaster.

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He's been awful so far this season

    2. diesel001
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He is a sheep not a shepherd. He needs his shepherd (Evans).

  12. Arvin-ation

  14. Limbo

  15. FPL Scoop

    5 years, 1 month ago

    What keepers are better value than Sanchez, though?

    1. Call Me Old Fashioned
      5 years, 1 month ago

      1 out of 3 CSs. He is getting what we expected so far really

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

        Good point. Some more saves would be nice though, to be Martinez 2.0

        1. Call Me Old Fashioned
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I hear you in the save pts. Raya could be the only other GK around that 4.5 mark to be worth it but he has already gone up

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Nor many really. Raya's fixtures turn soon. Guaita's aren't great (nor are his defense). McCarty is McCarthy...

      Time for Meslier soon? 😉

  16. Zimo
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Pukki scored lolz

  17. Egg noodle
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Pukki. Finallyyy

  18. ☈☾
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Norwich 1 goal 19th
    Arsenal 0 goals 20th

    1. The Knights Template
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Lovely

  19. Rainer
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Soyboy might be worse than Amartey.

  20. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Pukki Goal, have him in draft too, what a GW

  21. ClassiX

      One Partey didn't happen though

  23. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Pukki masterclass incoming

  24. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I’m going into hibernation from fpl

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Think I may take an extended break

  25. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Knew Norwich would score against Leicester. Go'orn Canaries!

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

    Really regretting going Buendia to Raph now... was on Gray but decided needed Raph

    IB uncertainty cherry on top for Raph

  27. TorresMagic™

      Sucking Söyüncü

  28. Thanos
    5 years, 1 month ago

    All results going wrong today 🙁

    Wilson is so useless... He will be the first out on my WC *fuming*

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

    Might genuinely get Demarai Gray in for Barnes. 5.5m

    1. Differentiator
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Streaky player is Gray

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      5 years, 1 month ago

      As opposed to fake getting him?

  30. Zimo
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Goddammit fornals. Lighter pass
