Raphinha and Jimenez return to starting XIs as Armstrong is benched again

Four more Premier League matches kick off at 3pm BST today: Crystal Palace v Newcastle United, Everton v Watford, Leeds United v Wolverhampton Wanderers and Southampton v Burnley,

Raphinha is back in the Leeds United starting XI today, replacing Tyler Roberts in Marcelo Bielsa’s only alteration from the team that he sent out in Gameweek 8.

Kalvin Phillips is on the bench after a calf injury.

As for the visitors, Raul Jimenez is back in the Wolves team despite some pre-match concerns over game-time for the Mexican. He and Rayan Ait-Nouri are in for Ruben Neves and Marcal, who isn’t even among the substitutes.

Richarlison is only fit enough for a place on the Everton bench, with Anthony Gordon and Tom Davies in for Abdoulaye Doucoure and Alex Iwobi the two changes that Rafael Benitez has made.

Jeremy Ngakia, Joshua King and Ozan Tufan are brought in at the expense of Danny Rose, Emmanuel Dennis and Kiko Femenia by Claudio Ranieri.

It’s one change apiece at St Mary’s, with Theo Walcott replacing Moussa Djenepo and Erik Pieters in for Charlie Taylor.

Adam Armstrong is only among the substitutes for the Saints, with budget forward Armando Broja stationed up top.

Patrick Vieira makes one change to the Crystal Palace team that drew 2-2 at Arsenal on Monday, with Michael Olise in for Jordan Ayew. Wilfried Zaha is only on the bench after recovering from illness.

Newcastle caretaker boss Graeme Jones makes two tweaks to the Newcastle team named by Steve Bruce in his final game in charge of the Magpies, with Emil Krafth and Ryan Fraser in for Joe Willock and Joelinton.

    Need Gallagher and Lowton goals asap

  2. BrockLanders
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    So, that's gonna be Duffy, Sarr, Alonso, Docoure, Mahrez and potentially Tierney needing shifted. Absolutely incredible

      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      AND MARCAL. FML

  3. Rainer

  4. Sun Jihai

    • 12 Years

    Ultra cheap forwards maybe the way to go:

    4.5 4.0
    TAA, Chilwell, James, Cancelo, Livramento
    Salah, Mane, Son, Mount, ESR
    Broja, Hwang, King

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

        2 years, 6 months ago

        Looked more impact than twist so could be fine

      One more for a Digne -1 classic...

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years

        He was almost essential a few years ago in here.

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Leeds United in trouble.

      6 points off 9 games and flirting with the trap door. Need a goal.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          2 years, 6 months ago

          For sure, not sure what they can do realistically they need players back and fit. By January it could be too late to catch up even with shrewd signings

      2. C_G
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        ill take King coming on for Alonso from the bench

        1. Make United Great Again
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          WOW

      3. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        What a goal by Benteke

      4. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        OHHHHHH CHRISTIAN BENTEKE

      5. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

      7. Messiah Hazard
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Foden or Mount for the next 3-4 games?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Give it 3 hours.

      8. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Duffy > Chilwell

        Or

        Raphinha > Mount?

        It's gonna be one of these two moves.

        1. Make United Great Again
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Chilwell.

        2. GROBARI
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Dont do duffy move,he is off cause of tactics,not dropped

          1. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            But I'd also be buying Chilwell.

            1. GROBARI
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              First do Mount move,Raph will be out for long

        3. Silecro
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          As a Chelsea fan, i wouldnt jump so fast on Mount wagon, after all it's his first goal in 25 league games, this was more of a freak show rather than a "what lies ahead" scenario

        4. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago
