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.

    Imagine telling someone a Watford forward scores a hat trick today at Goodison, and then finding out it’s not Sarr….

    Sa from 9 to 3

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        2 years, 5 months ago

        They just find new ways every week to flop, horrendous at defending and their manager seems clueless when it comes to defending too

        Reputation was purely for attacking

      • A. PRISE
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Only natural, I own him

      • g40steve
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Gone this week the defenders in front of him are a liability

    2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      If only, if only, Sarr would have stayed on 🙁

      1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I get where you are coming from bit Sarr's replacement scored and made two assists so it's not the same game in that scenario

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Rodrigo straight up to 3bps

      1. Nanoelektronicar
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Even with yc?

    4. dansmusen
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      So i have Bissouma on the bench before Dennis (will get one in for Marcal). If Bissouma gets minutes i will stop playing this year for sure

      1. School of Poch
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Isn't he doing years not minutes?

        1. dansmusen
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Still somehow on the becnh today

    5. School of Poch
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Damn needed that Semedo cleanie to justify starting him over losing Lukaku to Hwang or Broja for a -4

    6. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Josh King coming in for Alonso 😯 😆

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Just Semedo with 3rd penalty this season.

      1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        So clumsy/brainless. Doesn't know how to defend those situations and panics
