A large percentage of our Fantasy Premier League (FPL) assets will feature in the five 3pm kick-offs this afternoon, as Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City are all in action.

The Reds host Brighton and Hove Albion, Thomas Tuchel’s troops are away at Newcastle United and the reigning Premier League champions entertain Crystal Palace.

Burnley v Brentford and Watford v Southampton are the other two matches getting underway at the traditional kick-off time.

There are no real shocks in the Liverpool and City line-ups, so we start our team news on Tyneside.

Mason Mount – the most bought FPL player of Gameweek 10 – is absent from the Chelsea squad altogether because of illness, while Cesar Azpilicueta is benched for the second league match in a row.

Mount is one of three players who drop out of Thomas Tuchel’s line-up from last week, with Trevoh Chalobah and the injured Mateo Kovacic also making way.

Andreas Christensen, N’Golo Kante and Hakim Ziyech start in their places.

Newcastle are unchanged.

The benching of Diogo Jota is the headline news at Anfield, with Sadio Mane and Curtis Jones replacing the Portugal international and the injured James Milner.

Brighton make three changes to the side that went down 4-1 to Manchester City, with Yves Bissouma, Enock Mwepu and Shane Duffy recalled. Pascal Gross and Neal Maupay drop to the bench, while Dan Burn is injured.

Kevin De Bruyne in for Ilkay Gundogan is Pep Guardiola’s only change from Gameweek 9, while Patrick Vieira has benched Christian Benteke, Luka Mililojevic and Michael Olise to accommodate Wilfried Zaha, Jordan Ayew and Cheikhou Kouyate.

Bryan Mbeumo has made the Brentford matchday squad but only as a substitute. Marcus Forss starts alongside Ivan Toney instead but Ethan Pinnock has recovered from a hip problem to feature. Alvaro Fernandez is in for the injured David Raya.

Ben Mee and Johann Berg Gudmundsson return for Burnley, with Nathan Collins and Jack Cork dropping out.

Joao Pedro has replaced Ozan Tufan in Claudio Ranieri’s only alteration for Watford v Southampton.

James Ward-Prowse, Kyle Walker-Peters, Adam Armstrong and Che Adams are all back in the Saints starting XI, with Romain Perraud, Ibrahima Diallo and Theo Walcott dropping to the bench. Armando Broja is sidelined with an ankle injury.

    got rid of james for trent because i wanted to avoid jame's 89th minute cameo 1 pointer. turns out trent was the 1 pointer. wow

  2. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Will Mbeumo be subbed on? Livra first on bench

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Not now no.

    2. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Doesn't look like he'll risk him now.

    3. Thanos
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Unlikely he will come on

    4. 272MK
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Hopefully not. He wasnt the 1st sub so feels unlikely he'll be risked

    5. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      No chance, it was touch and go if he travelled. Although all the knocks being picked up left no real choice

  3. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years

    Trossard kneecap offside

  4. Thomas Magnum
    • 10 Years

  5. Totalfootball

    Wow so much talent at utd and solskjaer goes for 5-2-1-2
    You have got to be joking.
    I can manage better than tht and I ain't even lying.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Cause that 'talent' was doing so well in other formations?

      1. Totalfootball
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        No
        Solskjaer is just shi* tbh

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Do you want to watch it first and then see how good your managerial skills are? Correct decision to play Cavani

      1. Totalfootball
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Correct decision yes
        But not with those players.
        THIS IS MAN UTD you talking about

          Levenshulme man are we?

    3. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      He was playing too gung-ho putting 11 good players on the pitch but not necessarily the best team to win games.

  6. Pukki Party
    • 8 Years

    1. BOATIES FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Yes. Throwing your hat in the ring for Oles job?

        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Wing backs though. Chelsea do this every week albeit 2 in behind 1 striker. It won’t be hoof ball
